Provided we actually do discuss the book, I'd quite like this.

I've read 1Q84, so if that's chosen I'll wait for the next one.

Do you recommend it?

Actually, not really. It's more of a "thriller" novel than most of Murakami's other works.

Is there anything you've been wanting to read?

I'll read anything; my only suggestion is that it can't be too obscure, because everyone should be able to find it relatively easily. I nominate kuli for the first selection, since that's where the idea originated. We can have a rotating dictatorship; not sure how to choose the chooser, but voting on a choice sounds very cumbersome.

I second the nomination and suggest that future dictators be chosen randomly somehow.

This book club thing comes at a good time; I've been looking for something to read.

Me too. I will be spending some time in hotels this month and could use a good book.
