I really only read historical nonfiction these daysMostly military history stuff. And it'll take me like three months to stagger through one book
I really only read historical nonfiction these days
It looks like Ender's Game is a popular choice here. Kind of no reason to make a poll, unless anyone has another suggestion?
Now, if we're doing this in an organized fashion (especially cos this book isn't that long), should we maybe have it, where you have to read up to Chapter 3 by this date, etc. You don't have to get there, but the thread will have unmarked discussion spoilers. That way people know what spoilers will be in the thread, and we can read it all together as a group.
I'm a pretty fast reader, and generally knock out a 500 page book a day, but I appreciate others don't read that fast. And I know from my past experience, if I've read a book before, and someone else hasn't, I sometimes have a hard time remember which plot point came first.
What do you guys think?

If you guys don't want to read Ender's Game, I'm sure there are plenty of other books out there that can be chosen. Doesn't seem like there's a lot of enthusiasm for it xD
I don't see any lack of enthusiasm for Ender's Game, so we should just go for it. Change up that title and say we have until the end of July to get this bad boy read. I'd say just have a final date to have it finished and mark spoilers along the way.
For next time we should all think of a possible book and get a vote going on for it. I do agree that we shouldn't just stick to sci-fi/fantasy, and we shouldn't be afraid to nominate books that might be bad. All about expanding our horizons!
lemme know if you want it changed to anything else~
I will try again and I will read Ender's Game, but after that I would love love to read Gone Girl please and thanks.
Signature by rubah. I think.
Well, we'll add it to our suggestions list.
Gone Girl is not the kind of genre I usually go for (psychological thriller), but I thought it was fan-smurfing-tastic and I'd love to have people to chat about it with. So many wtf moments.
I'd like to throw "Franny and Zooey" on the suggestion list for the future. It's my favorite Salinger piece, I think.
Is it good? It's not a book I'd read myself, but you're like the book queen. So I take most of your recommendations pretty seriously.Gone Girl is not the kind of genre I usually go for (psychological thriller), but I thought it was fan-smurfing-tastic and I'd love to have people to chat about it with.

It's wicked good.
A little more than halfway through, your whole perception of the book completely changes and it goes from being a very readable, decently intriguing book to, WHOA! DAMN! kind of good. Falters a little toward the very end though.
It's too early probably to suggest books for next month, but I'd like to recommend Pendragon, the merchant of death.
This post brought to you by the power of boobs. Dear lord them boobs. Amen
Nah, if we get suggestions in, it means we can get one picked easier for next month rather that spending time getting suggestions together! :3
Pendragon: Merchant of Death is also great!
