QC Forum Book Group - Nominations for Book #2

(1/13) > >>

Lines:
New book, new thread! All I ask is that if you vote, participate in the discussion!

My first vote goes to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. I plan on reading this anyways and it's buy the same author as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which if you have not read was quite fantastic.

And just to refresh your memories on how to do this, I bring you the words of Harry:


--- Quote from: Inlander on 24 Mar 2010, 20:05 ---So here's what I propose: people should use this thread to nominate a book they'd like to read and discuss with other people on the forum. It can be fiction or non-fiction, any topic, provided only that (A) it's reasonably easy to get a hold of (people need to be able to find it to read it), and (B) it's not too long (people have busy lives).

If you like someone's book suggestion, post your agreement ("Seconded", "Agreed", "Hell yeah!", whatever as long as it's clear). The first SIX books that receive THREE endorsements (including the original nomination) will be the Finalists, and I will then proceed to creat a poll (in this thread or another) so that we can vote on what book we want to read and discuss for our inaugural QC Forum Book Club Discussion-o-rama.!

--- End quote ---

Suggest away! I'll update the choices when we pick the books, so DON'T VOTE YET.

Blood Meridian came second last time and I'm over half-way through it now so I nominate that.

RallyMonkey:
I nominate Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris.

I stumbled upon this book at the store the other day, and on a whim I picked it up. And two chapters into it, it's turning out to be the best book I have read in a really long time. The book does a wonderful job of being simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking, and the many comparisons to Joseph Heller are well-deserved, I feel. I am really excited to read the rest of the book, and so far, I strongly suggest you pick it up.

Johnny C:
Okay I'm actually able to read books at this point, so I'm gonna jump in. I'd suggest Not Wanted on the Voyage by Timothy Findley.

Johnny C:
ORRR we can also do what I think Liz suggested in the other noms thread which is just work through the books in order of votes. That's probably a better way to work this for the time being, because everyone can just get the books that we're going to read and plow through at their leisure, in something resembling order!
