This is too hard. And I'm way too lazy to look all these up on amazon in order to rank them.

I'll see what y'all settle on and if I have the time and am interested in the book, I'll read with you. If not, I won't.

Apathy. Sometimes it's a good thing.

Have we settled on the top five ranking? Because I could totally go along with the each person only nominates one book idea.

I have no idea, but I'm fine with going that route. If we want to do something else, I'm fine with that too. I just want to decide and not discuss any more.

I like the idea of rotating who picks. Also - if you nominate a book you should also cut/paste a blurb.

Often lighthearted, thoroughly original, and ultimately profoundly moving, Audrey Niffenegger's first novel tells the story of two people destined to be together: Clare, a perfectly normal woman, and Henry, a time-traveler.
According to the unique rules that Niffenegger creates, Henry travels unexpectedly and mostly to his own past, often when he is "all stressed out and [has] lost his grip on now." As Henry explains when he first meets Clare: "…the person you know doesn't exist yet. Stick with me, and sooner or later he's bound to appear. That's the best I can do." And while it's true that Henry travels to different moments in time, he also travels from them as well. He frequently gets lost in time and doesn't know "when" he is.

But the real story of the book is the lifelong love Clare and Henry share as they try to make the most of the times they have together -- the times when Henry is not traveling.

Subtle but powerful, The Time Traveler's Wife is a book whose importance becomes more evident with each turn of the page, provoking readers to ask themselves if they've made the most of the moments of their lives --moments so fleeting, they could be time travelers themselves. (Fall 2003 Selection)

I prefer voting to rotating. I'll have to post my list later, though.
