Here be dragons! Welcome to the First Chapter (heh, see what I did there?) of the First Order of the Reading Rainbow Coalition!

Second Book! Sorry this is a little late... I blame the month of February for being so confusingly short. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
I know there were some suggestions for Canticle for Leibowitz but since it was in the poll last month, we'll go ahead and skip it this month.

Rockin' some cyberpunk!
Fourth (and Fifth?) Book! If the votes swing towards smaller books (300 pages or less) then we can shoot for a second book halfway through the month, whatever gets the 2nd highest vote.
**EDIT** I linked the wrong book for "Book Thief" and have now corrected it**
Response: Slaughterhouse-Five – 275 pages - Fashions Vonnegut’s experiences in the Second World War into an eloquent and deeply funny plea against butchery in the service of authority.

6th (and 7th?) book. Vote vote vote!
*I added books from last month's poll that had more than 1 vote.
Response: Vurt - 342 pages – A cyberpunk novel with a difference, a rollicking, dark, yet humorous examination of a future in which the boundaries between reality and virtual reality are as tenuous as the brush of a feather.

Hey gang, do we need a couple more weeks for this month's books? Although I have finished Neverwhere, I just found a copy of Vurt and between having to move and working, there's now way I can finish it by next week. Ideas? I think just a couple more weeks should suffice, say till the 15th of July.
Response: Yes - Extend another month

Vote for the next book! We'll only be shooting for one book this month since two seems to be a little bit ambitious.
I wrote in the genres of the books instead of the summaries I've usually done because... well, because I'm lazy.
Response: Lamb The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal - fiction

December book! Below are the suggested titles of the month, complete with summaries from the people who suggested them! :)
Response: Darwin's Radio - The cause of an epidemic among pregnant women is found to be a retrovirus buried in human DNA. The worldwide outbreak signals not a deadly disease, but a startling instance of evolutionary subspeciation.
