Re: Book Club
You're too busy writing books to read this one I imagine. :P

Re: Book Club
I'm reading. I'm a quarter of the way through.
I have no idea either. This is my first book club.

Re: Book Club
Station Eleven looks like a winner. I've got a gift card to Barnes & Noble, so I'll probably wander over there this week and buy a copy.

Re: Book Club
Here are my weighted votes.
1) Oryx and Crake - I've read one Atwood book before (The Handmaid's Tale), and I really liked it. Also, I have an affinity to trilogies.
2) Station Eleven - The dystopian setting sounds interesting here.
3) Wittgenstein's Mistress - I've never read a book like this one before, and it looks intriguing. I feel like it will be either amazing or not interesting at all, no in between ground.

Re: Book Club
I have no strong preference for a book we read or how we go about choosing it. But if the book is listed on Amazon's front page or made into a Hollywood movie in the last 5-10 years, I think I'd be less inclined to read it.

I had honestly never heard of L. Ron Hubbard until his name came up in a Frank Zappa song.G-Man wrote:A few controversial/discussion-worthy books you may want to consider include:
-Mein Kampf
-The Communist Manifesto
-Pretty much any religious text
-Anything by L. Ron Hubbard
-Pretty much any book by a political commentator (Coulter, Krugman, etc.)
-On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life by Charles Darwin

Perhaps we should begin with Where the Wild Things Are?

High literature will surely take on a new meaning here in Oregon in a couple days.S~V~S wrote:I was just trying to be helpful & start discussion of what we might read, not a discussion on Western Literature in general and what should and should not be considered high literature.
That said, perhaps we should have 2 or 3 books groups. I don't want to be ridiculed for my tastes in books that I read for entertainment.
Can we possibly get together and decide on a genre?

Re: Book Club
Sure!
I am reading two books right now (not this very moment, of course).
