Coachella Message Board Book Club, January 2011 Edition: VOTE HERE

[Courtney]

This is a continuation of the discussion started in this thread. Vote for as many books as you like.

[Alchemy]

I'm going to have to sit this club out for now, but I voted for David Mitchell for all of you. I read The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet last summer and I loved it a lot. I'm currently reading Ghostwritten. Whenever you discuss Thousand Autumns and Blood Meridian, invite me to the thread. I read Blood Meridian last summer also.

EDIT: This post went back in time. I was not the 2nd person to post in this thread. The lineup draws near and its powers are bending space and time.

[TomAz]

oh, I only voted for one.

[Hannahrain]

I voted for the ones I'd prefer and/or already own, but there's nothing on that list that I would be opposed to reading. Good list.

[casey]

thanks for making the poll. i voted and am ready to read whatever wins!

[Neighborhood Creep]

No I'm too stupid for books option?

[Cpt. Funkaho]

Thanks for the poll, Courtney. I've tried to hang with the book club and ended up flaking once before - I'll try and be more steadfast this time around.

Hmm. I might have to hold off if we do the last one - it's not in paperback yet and might be hard to find used/libraried.

There's already some holds though, so yeah. Maybe not the best book if it's going to be difficult for people to find.

Don't worry. We'll call you when we start the weightlifting and wraparound sunglasses club.

It's on Amazon for as low as twelve bucks, but it's probably better if we don't pick one that people have to buy if they want to participate.

Predictive text just tried to write "Amazorotor."

I used to work at a music company. I was being paid while making at least 3/4ths of those posts. I win... Mostly because of that, but also because I don't wear wraparound sunglasses.

Amsterdam by Ian McEwan

Just bought on amazon used for $3.18 +free student shipping. Never read it before hope its good.

[Courtney]

Ok, poll is closed! Looks like Amsterdam by Ian McEwan it is.

[SoulDischarge]

Works for me. Shall we start on Friday?

[amyzzz]

Does anyone want to try this again?
