Literally Geeky July Pick!

[Ez, The God of Catan]

Do you have a favourite book? A sequel we should get our teeth into? Is there a book you recommend to everyone? Or perhaps there's a story been dying to read?

Why not nominate it as the Literally Geeky pick for July? Post your selection: it's votes that count!

[Ez, The God of Catan]

Hullo, Evil-Ez here.... you can tell I'm evil because my hair is all short and well groomed and because of my luxuriant moustache.

I'm waxing it as I type.

Anyway, I think the July pick should be the Hound of the D'Urbervilles - Sherlock Holmes stories, but from Moriarty's point of view!

[Lara]

Oooooh! That would be a great pick!

I'm going to suggest The Martian. I've wanted to read it for a while and I'm itching to read something space related.

The Martian

[Vincent]

I have three suggestions:

A book I love that you've mentioned on previous eps - Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

My favourite book ever ever ever - Microserfs by Douglas Coupland

A book about book clubs - Shelf Monkey by Corey Redekop - BOOKCLUBCEPTION

[Ez, The God of Catan]

Only thing I've read by Copeland is Miss Wyoming, that was .... a long time ago. I like the idea of a book about bookclubs.

[Red]

Well I think I'm on a hiding to nothing trying to think of books Ez hasn't read, so I might keep my powder dry for now. I could suggest Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver, but at 940+ pages, I think it might scare the horses...

I think I just heard Lara faint....

[Lara]

I suppose choosing a longer book might motivate me to start reading earlier in the month.... might.

I'd really like to read Ready Player One. Has Ez read that one...?

[Ez, The God of Catan]

I haven't. It's virgin literary territory.

[Aaron]

Ready Player One was going to be my pick back in December, but I went for a holiday-themed book instead.

I came close to choosing it in April too, but we had just read Fahrenheit 451 and I didn't want to do sci-fi two months in a row.

So yeah, I've been wanting to read it for a while, you could say.
