Funny... we could maybe read these

Getting this book club started!!

We have to discuss schedule and which book to start with.  I know that we were tossing around the idea of reading the Omnivore's Dilemma BUT maybe we should start with a shorter book just to get a quick start, perhaps fiction?

Here's a list of some books that we've either talked about or I've been told to read or I've been thinking about:

Atmospheric Disturbances   by Rivka Galchen
White Tiger   by Aravind Adiga
CivilWarLand in Bad Decline   by George Saunders
Last Night at the Lobster   by Stewart O'Nan
Outliers   by Malcom Gladwell
The Fortress of Solitude   by Jonathan Lethem

As far as schedule, I think it would be realistic to allow 6 weeks per book, as we all have pretty busy lives...

OKAY?  Let me know what you guys think!!


?

Hi fellow friends and readers.  I thought this might be the best way to organize our book club...  let me know what you think.

I kind of want this to be something that we could all contribute to and I don't know if Blogger is the best tool.  Let me know if you can recommend better product.
