Here's our reading list:

1 Gloria - The Princess Bride, by William Goldman
2 Cath - The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios: Short Stories by Yann Martel; the literary equivalent of tickets to the Cirque du Soleil!
3 Debbie - Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott; one of the coolest book I've ever read. I didn't nominate it last couple times cuz I was afraid what y'all would think of me afterward =)
4 Mary - The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Armin; light, funny and quirky "the perfect vacation story" told 1920s-style, says reviews: "calls your attention to this ridiculous, lovable thing, human nature, and invites you to smile at it"
5 Andrew - A Game of Thrones, book one of the song of fire and ice trilogy... it's... it's...filled with so much intrigue. It's a fantasy novel.
6 Catherine - Charmed Life, by Diana Wynne Jones; YA book set in a magical world...first in a totally addictive series.. for anyone who loves Harry
7 Sharon - The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield (Mystery)
8 Janet - TBA
9 Sylvia - The Educated Imagination by Northrope Frye; when she read first read, it changed the way she saw the world! And it's only 80 pages
10 Bethany - Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein; sci fi but again this one acts as a satirical commentary...Will provide much discussion
11 Iulia - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick; the BladeRunner movie is based on this! So far - it is winning for book with the best title!
12 Chris - TBA
