Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

Any chance of reading Rabbit Redux? I've only read Rabbit, Run, and I'm dying to continue the series!

I'm still waiting to receive my November book, Blood Meridian from Alibris. But it seems the thread/forum to discuss this book is either private or I don't know how to access it.
I guess I will just wait to see what Updike novel is chosen, I don't have anywhere near 50 posts to be able to even vote. If I can't vote does that mean I won't be able to join the discussion?
Not a problem "Dreamwoven" By posting your thoughts you will be increasing your posting count, getting you closer to be able to suggest books.
Got it? great, now can you explain to me. LOL.
"Lennie said, "I thought you was mad at me, George."
"No," said George. "No Lennie. I ain't mad. I never been mad, an' I ain't now. Thats a thing I want ya to know."
Yes, thanks, Jeff. No, I don't get it, the system is one I've not seen before.
But for me its OK if I never suggest a book. I just want to be able to know what book is chosen each month in time for me to read a summary of it on Wikipedia, then if I decide I want to take part in the discussion, order the book from Britain and when it arrives (it takes about a week) read it as quickly as possible. It would help if there were a book every 2 months, but then I can't reasonably expect the number of books to be halved just for me because I live in the north of Sweden. I'll be happy to wait until a book is chosen that I want to read anyway. So I don't expect to take part in every discussion.
Going once...

So, what's the deal here with the 3-way tie? I'm late but I would love to read and discuss Couples. I will have a two-week break to do so, beginning next week!
