Ok, every other month it is! We can discuss it as we read it or have one finale discussion the last week of the second month (or both). So, for the first book, we should be finished by the end of July. Since I prefer fiction, I am choosing that. Here are three novels to choose from...hopefully, we can find one that nobody has read. I picked them all from among the Booker finalists from 2010 and 2011:
Jamrach's Menagerie
Parrot and Olivier in America
In a strange room

I have not read any of these, so I am game for any of them. Here are a list of NY Times Book reviews for the options:
AnSionnachRua, insomniasexx, b_b, JakobVirgil, sounds_sound, lessismore, mk, winston, caio, scrimetime, cgod and any others that would like to weigh in on these choices, please do.
I only tag you guys because you've expressed interest in joining the club. If you prefer not to be included just let me know. Thought I'd help kuli out.

up for anything but as I hold being a cheapskate sacred. I would perfer one that I can get at the library without a wait.

Ok. Well I'll throw my vote for Jamrach's Menagerie. I love a good ménage now and then so...

I'm happy with any of those, though I think Parrot and Olivier seems the weakest.

I agree that Parrot and Olivier was the one I was least excited about. Still, I'm up for any of them though.

I'm in. How soon is a decision to be made?
Can I request that we agree on a unique-ish hashtag for the book club? To make it easier for casual hubskiers (hubski-ites?) to follow the hubski book club? I propose "hubskibookclub".

I have checked-out both books from the library and I am going to read both. But, I think Jamrach's menagerie seem more like a summer adventure book, so that is the one I have chosen to kick-off the book club. Keep me posted when you start reading---I am looking forward to this very much!!!

I have requested it from my library - hoping it arrives quickly (although I still have a few days before I'll finish the book I'm on now).
