What to Read in May?

[Annie]

Hey guys, what are you all thinking you'd like to read next?

We seemed set last time on Confederacy of Dunces for after To Kill a Mockingbird. I think we wanted to nix, for the time being, Q: A Novel and The Bone People.

One I'd like to propose: Possible Side Effects, by Augusten Burroughs, http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61... (or I'd be up for re-reading Running with Scissors, http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...)

And does anyone have any thoughts on using this site/manner to have this kind of discussion?

Here are some further suggestions:

The Waiting Years by Fumiko Enchi (a modern Japanese writer, I have read one of her other books which AMAZING so I have high hopes for this one. Also, plot sounds interesting)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

Possession by A.S. Byatt (young scholars researching Victorian poets.... sounds fabulous to me)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41...

The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides (I read Middlesex by the same author and really liked it so high hopes for good writing, and I feel like the plot of this book would provide a lot of discussion fodder)

I'd be up for Waiting Years, Possible Side Effects, and/or Possession. Insofar as suggestions, hmmmm . . . another Margaret Atwood novel? Perhaps Lady Oracle http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/47...

All of these books sound good.
I rank them by 'my want to read' as follows:
Lady Oracle
Possible Side Effects
The Waiting Years
Possession

I would love to read more Margaret Atwood! But would also understand if people wanted to keep things mixed up. I'm going to email these options to everyone.
