Poll
What do you want to read to discuss in September? We're aiming for something a bit lighter this time. Please remember:
• If the book you vote for wins you are expected to return to discuss it, therefore, vote only if you will follow-up.
• Don't just vote for a book you have already read and want us to discuss, unless you really really will come back to discuss it with us. I encourage you to vote for something you have not read, for a fresh discussion.

Good Omens is a great book by the way. If it doesn't win, you all may want to add it to your list anyway. :)

I got so tired of Disc World after about 3 books, and then I stopped reading Pratchet altogether. I'm voting for Dream Caster just to get me to read this book that I already bought...
To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Pratchett's work, but Good Omens combines his best qualities with Gaiman's, in my opinion.
I'm not a Pratchett fan either - it, how do I describe it... doesn't take itself seriously enough? I mean, I really like imaginative, but I don't like silly, and I think Pratchett's work tends to push too far into the nonsensical stuff. It all has a story behind it/ties into something else, but it's too weird for me. Like the whole the world on the back of a turtle thing, I know some folks love that sort of thing, but I just don't dig it.On the plus side, this could mean more interesting conversation for those who read it, since there is bound to be some disagreement about style.
If it wins, even though I'm not voting for it, I certainly intend to read it, so that people can tell me why I should love Pratchett :)
I have not read Pratchett. I look at the books...but I put them back. So this is a good excuse. And I voted.
It has been a long time for me so I would be willing to try again. (I always try to read club reads anyway though.)
