New Book: Kite Runner

Sorry I am a day late. Since there was a lack in voting(one person voted twice) and there was such a close number of votes. I am just going to choose the book for the next couple of months. I decided to start this year off with "Kite Runner". I have heard great things and they just came out with the movie. Next month we will read "Dear John" and go from there. Have fun reading...all 3 of you.

Voting

I have added a Poll to vote for the books you want to read. You are allowed to vote for more than one. This way we can get an idea of what other books people want to read so we can maybe plan for the next couple months. If this doesn't make sense, maybe Y'all can clarify in the comments.

Book on the Way

I have decided that since it is such a busy time of year, we should start our new book on January 1st. How does that sound to all of you? I will post a survey in the upper corner to vote on the book sometime this week so keep checking back and get ready for January!

Did you read?

Hello all you book clubbers. Did anyone read Pride and Prejudice? I have to admit that I am a terrible person and did not read this month. In fact, I didn't read any books this month at all. I did watch the movie, the one with Keira Nightly. It doesn't give this story justice, they cut out too much and add too many lines that could have been left unspoken. I still enjoyed it none the less.

Any ideas for next month? Feedback feedback! We need your feedback!

Pride and Prejudice

I'm very excited to read this month's book selection, "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. How about you? Are you Jane Austen fans? Maybe when we are done we can all watch, "Becoming Jane," and the A&E version of "Pride and Prejudice" (my favorite!). Well, get going, I really want us all to read this one and share thoughts!

Library

I am suggesting a few more books "Love In the Time of Cholera," "Pride and Prejudice," (It's a classic!) "Eat, Pray, Love," and "Kite Runner." These are in addition to "Atonement," "A thousand Splendid Sun," "Dear John," and "A Thread of Grace." Check out your library and see if any of this are available. Anyone else have recommendations. Any preferences?

Finally Read...

I finally finished the book from last month: Three Cups of Tea. I found it extremely interesting. I really don't pay attention to the news or the war, or anything going on in the middle east, and I found his perspective enlightening and inspirational. Holy cow though. He married one awesome woman. There's no way I would let my husband be gone that much for any cause. Am I awful or what?

I concur about reading older books. Outside In had a huge waiting list at the library, and I'm not one to buy books I haven't read before, so I didn't read. I'm ready for another one though... sorry. No suggestions as of yet. I'll try and think of one. And, I just checked our library for the Cholera one. No dice. They don't even have it. Is it new?
