So I finally picked up Hyperion for a read...now I'm curious to know how they're going to turn such a fantastic book into a movie.

Remember to vote for this months book.

I'd be down for Wind-Up Bird for the April selection, as I'm already a fifth into it (put it down when it got into the Historical fiction stuff, but I'm suer I could pick it back up). Or, we could all read Blood Meridian. Just saying.

If no one has read it, I might recommend Stephen King's The Colorado Kid for the April book. Awesome story and short enough to be read in one sitting.

Any ideas for the April book? I missed the March book -- no time to get to the bookstore and pick it up.

I'm heading to the bookstore tomorrow to pick up a notebook, I might get it then.

Alright yall. Perfume is March's book.

We'll have an entirely new vote in April.

Alas, my library doesn't have any copies of Time Traveler's Wife, but I did grab the audio book. I'll give it a listen... all 16 CD's worth. Sigh.

Really? I really liked the last part of Brave New World. There were parts that were a lot worse than that.

Great. Going to B&N today. Looks like I'll be picking it up. I have about 30 pages left to Brave New World.

I've actually found that to be a chore.

It sounds awesome, gotta get that book.

For anyone unaware, Time Traveler's Wife is the official February book of the month.

Audrey Niffenegger's innovative debut, The Time Traveler's Wife, is the story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry finds himself periodically displaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

What is The Time Travelers Wife about anyway? I guess the wife of a time traveler but that doesn't really help.

How about something completely different? I just started reading A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn, which I would like to nominate. Should open a few eyes.

Poll is here folks:
http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthr...

Out of the listed options I would vote for Old Man's War, Final Solution, or Perfume.

I've also been meaning to re-read Donnerjack, by Zelazny and Lindskold (sp?). Maybe we can add that to the list?

Well, we need a few more suggestions for a poll. Maybe I'll make an EvAv thread, and then make a poll based on that.

Should we do an EvAv poll or keep coming up on ideas here and do a vote of some sort?

I would second on The Road. However, I've read it.

Here are my suggestions I'm pulling them from my pile.):

The Final Solution

Armor

Old Man's war (which I've just read but I liked it so much, well, you know.)

The only one of those I've read is Time Traveler's Wife, which I HIGHLY recommend. I'd be willing to read any of the others.

I just borrowed from my local Library: McCarthy's The Road, and Niffenegger's Time Traveler's Wife. So, I would take the Time Traveler's Wife. Anyone else with ideas?

I'll throw some suggestions out, and maybe someone will latch on to one of the books I want to read for the Book of the Month.

Albert Camus - The Plague

Finally,

February book of the month?

Yes! It reminds me of when I read Dracula and felt the same thing. If I was freaked what would people in the late 1800s view it as?

I'm amazed at how appropriate Brave New World is so far.

Started reading this last night. Off to an impressive start, especially when I keep having to remind myself that Huxley wrote this in 1932.

Barnes & Noble has this great book discussion (Reading Group Guide link) for most of their books now. Might be good for a reference:

Oh, and bn.com does store inventory search now. Finally. I'm picking Huxley's book up today. I hope we can keep this up.

Sounds good, I guess I'll go pick it up this weekend.

Indeed, the Aldous Huxley novel.

I'm in.

This is the book by Huxley, correct?

Alright. Book #1, a Brave New World. End of January.

Let's consider it done.

I've never read it, but I'm not a huge sci-fi fan (I liked Ender's Game), so I can't make any promises, but I'm up for it.

I've never read it, so I'm game.

I'd read it again.

I've read it, but I'll gladly re-read it to form a more recent opinion of it. Are we setting a 'due date' to have ideally finished it by? End of January?

I haven't seen Brave New World on anyone else's bookshelf as read. I'm going to start reading it when I head to New Orleans on January 3rd.

EvAv book club? Sounds awesome.

I've already got that on my to-read shelf, so yes! But that book may be too commonly read by this crowd to be the monthly book.

I am planning on reading Brave New World sometime soon. Anyone else want to read it as well?

Maybe we could a monthly vote on book suggestions from the community?

And what would we read?

As stupid as it sounds, wouldn't it be cool if we all read the same book at the same time?
