As usual we had a hard time deciding on one book! Shelley and I exchanged murmurings about adopting a more dictatorial selection style rather than so democratic; however in the end I was insistent we could vote at least twice - Meredith had GREAT selections to choose from. Once again, I fantasized about quitting my job and taking a year off to just read books.
In the end we selected The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It was originally published in Germany as a young adult novel; however it was released in America as adult fiction (huh, that's humbling.) I don't think anyone knew how adorable this author was when we voted either - check him out! Cutie pie!
Our next book club is July 1st (TUESDAY), 6:30pm at Shell's. Rather than selecting September's book as we usually do, we decided to do a poll on the Blog and select the book we want to see renominated. The book with the most votes by 7/1/08 at 5:30pm will be the winner.
Here were the runners up:
- What's Going On (Series of Essays)
- What is the What? by David Eggers
- The Samurai's Garden
- HELP MEREDITH!
- black panther's book
- grief book about Molokai
