    January '10 Reading Poll

    In 2010, we are going back to "random" book nominations for our readings.

    Please nominate the novel you would like to read in January in this thread by November 30th.

    Please remember that:

    - Only those members with 50+ posts can nominate.

    - One nomination per member.

    - Only the first 10 nominations will be included in the poll.


    The Book Club readings are for those who would like to read and discuss books together with other members.

    If you are not able to take part or unwilling to (re)read your own nominations, please refrain from taking part in the process.

    *** This poll will close on January 1st. ***

    Atonement was such a disappointmet for me and I am aware that I am in minority regarding this book so it might be good to discuss it with others.

    I have started reading The Poisonwood Bible twice but could not get into it so wouldn't mind giving it another try (and probably finish it this time because of the BC).

    And of course, Cather; I really want to read something by her.

    I would not mind reading that, and I think I have a copy of it around here somewhere
