I'm going for the Becker. The thing about book clubs is that I prefer to read material that would be more difficult to read on my own. I loved Big Cats, but it may be hard to have a book club discussion about so many different short stories. And that besides, that is the kind of writing where I'm immersed in the writing and the storytelling, but don't necessarily want to discuss them in depth, nor do I need help understanding them.

Not to be a pain but can we get a short synopis of each? I haven't heard of any of these. Big Cats is sounding kinda different tho.

Amazon has synopses. I've read Time and Again years ago. Good book.
Whatever you guys pick, I'll give a shot, if my library has it...

Alright, I'm going with Big Cats since it just sounded cool and I'm ultra lazy about looking up the other ones.
