Well, July is almost up. We should probably look into getting the next book chosen! :3

I like the suggestion of Gone Girl.

I will certainly be looking into the rest of the Ender Trilogy, but let us expand into something outside the realms of this particular book series for the next few picks. :} I hope to get at least 3 books in before the book club inevitably dies.
I would still do Gone Girl! I couldn't find a copy of Ender's Game in enough time to play in July. I suck. But I will read pretty much anything and the sooner it's picked the better off I'll be to go find it!
Signature by rubah. I think.
I have an ARC of Gone Girl somewhere. I'll participate if I can find it.
Cloud Atlas discussion here. Let's make this a big long continual log of our book club (if we can get more than 2-3 people to participate at a time).
And I am going to post my thoughts about Cloud Atlas as I please. It shouldn't matter that I'm already reading it. What matters is that I'm still reading it and it doesn't look like anyone else has even cracked it open and it's already the 7th.
Sweet. I'll get my hands on a copy. :3
I will too. Sorry, I've been incredibly busy the last week.
I'm gonna get this book tomorrow, I think! Have any of you read David Mitchell before? I've read I think two books by him. Or at least one. I read Ghostwritten and it was really good!

Gone Girl is going on my to-read list.....next to 20 other books. Fight!

I'm not your Mary.
I've never read David Mitchell before, but he is fascinatingly intriguing.
This book frustrates the hell out of me, kindof! I just love Mr. Ewing's excerpt and how it's written. I love how words are "misspelled" according to today's standards and I love the manner in which he speaks and narrates. It's a bit confusing at times, though, and on more than one occasion I've had to look up definitions of words in order to fully understand what he's trying to say.
And what the hell is up with ending the South Pacific/Mr. Ewing story mid-sentence? Not cool, David Mitchell.Having said that, though, I've moved onto the Letters from Zedelghem story involving Robert Frobisher writing letters to a "Sixsmith." Remembering this film, this was my favorite story next to Neo Seoul.
Kindle says I'm only 9% in.
I was frustrated with the book too in the beginning. I really didn't start to get an inkling of the genius of the book and the author until Luisa Ray's section and then I fell in love with the book during The Ghastly Ordeal of Timothy Cavendish.
Del Murder and I watched the movie last night and I thought it was terrible. Just smurfing wrong. I hope the re-make it one day and do a better job of it.
I didn't think the movie was great, but it did make me want to read the book. I'm not fond of either Tom Hanks or Halle Berry and both Luisa Ray's story and The Ghastly Ordeal of Timothy Cavendish were my least favorites in the movie.
