What do you want to read in January?

[Anh]

Ideas for the next book(s) for January? I'm thinking we can do multiple books since a month is a long time to read just one. Look out for a poll sometime near the end of December. Any genre is welcome!

Jhumpa Lahiri? Anything from her?

I second Clockwork.

[Elodie]

With Clockwork, check to make sure the edition you get has the last chapter that was deleted in the original American print.

Most copies you find now will have the original last chapter.

I really want to read the Norton Critical edition of the book, but my library doesn't have that edition.
