Here is the list of books created through all of our suggestions. Please list the books that you would like to read. (I tried to do this as a poll, but there were too many options) Anything by Michael Moore Bringing Down the House Confessions of Max Tivoli Diary Drop City Interpreter of Maladies Lif...

I'm not, because I got confused by the whole "3 books at once" thing and totally dropped out for some reason. But I want to rejoin. I think voting is a good idea - if only one person is interested in reading a certain book, then participation will probably be low! Or, rather than voting, ...

It seems like participation has dwindled. Is anyone reading The Painted Drum or No Logo? Why or why not? I'm thinking that mabye I'll start choosing books from the list we compiled and then having you vote on them. If a book doesn't get enough votes, we'll move on to the next randomly selected book....

Hersheys has been totally ruined for me! *shudder*

I just finished Children of God, which is absolutely amazing. I urge you to read that and the one that comes before - The Sparrow.

On the list are: Skull Mantra, The Hungry Ocean, and the 13th Juror.

I'm having trouble getting into No Logo.

I totally lost track of book club. I'd like to start doing that again. I think if we have one book per month it would be easier than working with a list of 3. We could announce the book 2 weeks ahead of the month. IE announce December's book in mid-November. Then people can get it, and read it duri...

First of all, did you like the book? Why or why not? I really liked the book. It's not one I would have chosen myself, but I thought she told the story beautifully and I was never bored. How did the loss of a child affect the characters in the book? Anoquot "woke up" from the dream of her ...

**Please feel free to add questions!** First of all, did you like the book? Why or why not? How did the loss of a child affect the characters in the book? Why do you think the sister jumped? Do you think Anoquot's daughter jumped, or did she throw her? Why do you think the main character was so relu...

I'm finishing up The Pilot's Wife today. I thought it was pretty good.

I'm reading In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje. It may be one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read. I'm also reading No Logo . Is anyone else reading this for the book club? It's interesting, but it reads very slowly, like a textbook. I just started No Logo - and I agree! Has...

I just started the painted drum - our book club Louise Erdrich, our book club book.

I've got the heebie jeebies!

"A Girl Named Zippy" was really good, and uplifting.

hat was your overall impression of the book? Did you like it? I loved this book. It captured my heart and was so imaginative. Were you confused at all by all the time traveling? In the beginning I though it migh - but I thought the author did an excellent job and I was never confused. What did you t...

Keep reading Silvia - it will be worth it! Here's me: Judas Child - a thriller by Carol O'Connell Moving Mars - sci fi by Greg Bear No Logo - Naomi Klein Les Miserables (neverending) Missed Connections - a book about the hearing impaired. I have a friend who is hearing impaired who recommended it. T...

I think Silvia said she would come up with some quesitons for us...

Yep - just pose 2 or three questions. Actually, you may be able to find some book club questions online. That's where I found the questions for LB.

I've finished it. Do you want to lead the discussion on the 7th?

This is after we finish the Painted Drum, of course...
