Book Club

It's not the end of the world Anna, you can take J.T. off, I'm just stubborn when it comes to books I really love - but ya'll will miss out on a really good book that could have still been read over a period of time (say 50 pages a week) and discussed. Rule of the Bone is an excellent book, probably more mainstream than Sarah, and Banks is well known (he wrote Affliction, The Continental Divide, The Sweet Hereafter) so he would appeal to more people.

If I vote for two (minus Leroy) it'd be Banks and Coleman. I'm tempted to vote for Sebold just so I can debate it's merits, but I'm sure it'll get enough votes on it's own.

So far (based on my and hazy's votes). Come on and vote people!!!

1 vote - Russell Banks - "Rule of the Bone"
1 vote - Jonathan Coleman - "Exit the Rainmaker"
1 vote - Anna Quindlen - "Black and Blue"
1 vote - Jose Saramago - "Blindness"

0 votes - John Irving - "A Prayer for Owen Meanie"
0 votes - Barbara Kingsolver "The Poisonwood Bible"
0 votes - Alice Sebold - "Lovely Bones"

I vote for Exit the Rain Maker and The Lovely Bones

I won't vote, because I really don't have a preference. Just thought I'd let y'all know that I am interested in the book club too.

2 votes - Jonathan Coleman - "Exit the Rainmaker"

1 vote - Russell Banks - "Rule of the Bone"
1 vote - Anna Quindlen - "Black and Blue"
1 vote - Jose Saramago - "Blindness"
1 vote - Alice Sebold - "Lovely Bones"

0 votes - John Irving - "A Prayer for Owen Meanie"
0 votes - Barbara Kingsolver "The Poisonwood Bible"

Okay, we need more people to vote already!!!

I'm cool with any of those Anna.

I vote for Exit the Rainmaker and The Lovely Bones. They both sound really good.:shrug

I live in the boonies, btw, how hard will these be to get? I already checked locally for Lovely Bones and couldn't find it. If I ordered one of them online, does anyone know how long it would take to get?

Ok after much pressure from Anna :winkgrin I will vote for two:

A Prayer for Owen Meanie - John Irving
The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver

I miss everything when I take a day off!!!!

I vote for Lovely Bones.
