January's book selection

We had 4 whole votes! (That must mean that at least 3 people other than me read this!) Since we had a tie, we'll choose both books. You can read either one or both (since we have till January). The Worthing Chronicle by Orson Scott Card and/or Molakai by Alan Brennert.

Also, if anyone comes across a book that you'd like to see as a reading selection here, please post it!

New Book Suggestions...

Okay, so I guess the last book club kinda bombed. I was out of town, unfortunately, so I apologize for that. A Train to Potevka is an excellent book and an easy read, for those who might still be interrested in reading it. It's also perfect for this time of year.

So, moving on...we need a new book suggestion. I heard that Kristanne had a couple--feel free to post them, and hopefully we can get input and read something that everyone is interested in.

One that I have not read (so I can't vouch for the content), but is on my "to-read-list" is One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Another one that I just very recently (today) finished is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, but it does have swear words. (Short synopsis: it's about a foster girl growing up in Germany during WWII.)

Other suggestions that I can think of:

The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

(Leave suggestions here, in the comments.)
