June book voting.

[amuse]

(alliterate az! )

Good, I wanted to finish reading Notre Dame, but set it aside for another time. I was waiting to see what was picked for May. I've been spending my time with the three muskateers while waiting. Now I can finish both, and not in a hurry.

I think we should wait a till most of us are done or almost done with Hunch. We may be in the mood for something different than we are now, once we've gotten through this one. Heck, I might be in the mood for some nice, bite-sized electric sheep after a couple more weeks of medieval Paris, rather than diving into another long-y like Karamazov.

Will anyone else support me for non-fiction book please?!

[Admin]

So you guys want to extend hunchback and continue voting on these books until June?

[verybaddmom]

sub, i would definitely support a non-fiction read, if it were on a subject that we could all find interesting. i would love to suggest something by Michael Moore, as his writing is so very cool and fascinating, but im afraid that any discussion on the reading would lead to politics, and all members of the club being banned.

btw, i have joined your club...hope you dont mind

so i guess that i will have to go and try again to find a copy of hunchy and read the darned thing. i was really hoping to wait it out....although i have been struggling through "Atlas Shrugged" for a while now and im still not near the halfway mark.

on second thought maybe i'll just wait for June to join the club....

[emily655321]

Yes, please, Admin.

[papayahed]

VBM,
Is Atlas Shrugged as long winded as The Fountainhead? The fountainhead is a great book but it definatly could have been a lot shorter IMHO.

[verybaddmom]

i havent read the fountainhead .... yet. but i believe so. it seems to really drag in spots as there is so much description that i am afraid to skim (i have to try and write a critical essay when im finished reading it).
but i find the most annoying thing is how many times someone has a feeling that they are 'not quite aware of'....it's weird. sort of like "she looked at him with an expression on her face the he knew was important but that he did not recognize." etc. there seems to be a lot of that. so and so saw something that reminded him of something that he cant remember but he's sure its important and will think about it later.....grrrrrr

[fayefaye]

can I change my vote to Don Quixote?

[emily655321]

Can we just start the vote over?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Oh, but I actually own the two books that are tied, means I can participate without buying anything.

[Dexter]

Hear good things about Margaret Atwood, esp. "The Handmaid's Tale (Tail?). I'd go for it, I hope its shorter than Don. Q.
Dexter

[verybaddmom]

Dex, if you are looking to read some Margaret Atwood, also be sure and try "Alias grace", "the robber bride", "cat's eye" and "the edible woman". also, her short story "the resplendent quetzal" (sp) was excellent.
i might be a fan...im not sure....

[dhm]

So Atwood is again tied in first place. Maybe this is a sign.
