I know it's just the beginning of March, but since the group is new, let's decide a book to start in April. You can second a nomination as well.

Does it have to be a book we've read already, or can it be one we want to read?
Both, but just select one. If you want to read whatever again, you can nominate it. If you think something sounds good, you can nominate, but just nominate one book please.
All right. I nominate Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.
I forgot I wanted to read that one too. Oh well.
Yeah, I've been meaning to read that one forever.
I've never read AWizard of Earthsea though.
Ender's game is a good book, sort of a classic sci-fi that everyone should read once at least.I have already read it though, so I am going to throw something else in the ring that I have wanted to read for some time: The Hunger Games
There are others that I want to read more, but they are not anywhere to be found without spending money (library).
The Hunger Games is a good series, but I'd rate it pg-13 for violence. Collins' is a good author, and in her novels she explores the psychological effects of war on children and the negative mental consequences that violence inflicts at a young age. So they are interesting but somewhat depressing; with the children-killing-children and all.
Oh....I didn't realize they were like that. Well we probably will read stuff like The Lord of the Rings in this group so it might be fine.
What I'm probably most concerned about is language.
Yeah! Anyone else want to nominate books so I could post a pole?
It is spelled P.O.L.L. :P
Oops! That's very embarrassing. Thank you :/
Sorry! I'm a punctuation/grammar/spelling freak. ;)
Same here. I just don't notice though if I mess up. :]
Hahaha! It's weird: texting drives me crazy, but I have no qualms about saying "lol" "omg" "ttyl" and etc. And the little smiley faces are cute ;) :P :)
Yeah, I only use lol rarely. I like smiley faces *:O)
