    Would you like to read Icebox?

    The first book we will be reading together is Icebox by Mark Bastable, who has, very kindly, agreed to be the first Forum author whose work we discuss.

    Icebox is available at libraries as well as on amazon.

    If you would like to take part, please get your copies ready by May 15th.

    Hey this sounds so cool. I love to participate. But where do i get the book? I saw it on Amazon.UK, but I'm not sure if it's available in the US.

    I'd snap it up if I were you. It's one of the rare unsigned copies.

    There's a section on amazon called "formats" (just below the title) and there's a list of independent booksellers that are selling copies.
