Come on Alice :)
Alice is--or will be an interesting book to talk about. Not only that it's filled with scientific riddles but is also a book from the literary nonsense department.
Nonsense is right, but it is so brilliantly constructed. I've tried to read it to my kids a number of times now, but it is a bit over their head yet. They do like to just listen, but they don't get the story really at all.Quote:

Empire Falls, on the other hand... :smilewinkgrin:

I would like to participate, too. And Alice would be great. =)

Empire Falls is a great read! I just recently watched the film version though--and despite its all-star cast.....whoa:eek: was it bad!!Quote:

Let's read something that has not been tried... Something that hasn't been sitting on the shelves for centuries...
Thanx. :nod:Quote:

I don't think, that I will manage 50 posts within this month. I got lots of work to do at the office.
We will see which book wins.
:wink5:
It also seems like it wouldn't be that hard to find some people IRL to talk about Alice with...it's nice to get to read stuff here that few people are currently reading and/or discussingQuote:
