I don't know...I tried reading Good in Bed and stalled out about thirty pages in. It just wasn't really keeping my attention. I do agree that we should
try to do a non-chick-lit book since our last two were very girly.
 Can you hold off on Weiner until maybe the book after next?

Yes. I guess.
 hehe
I'm currently reading the new Jhumpa Lahiri. It's amaaaazing. It's a group of short stories but are fascinating in and of themselves. http://www.amazon.com/Unaccustomed-Earth-Jhumpa-Lahiri/dp/0307265730/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208389095&sr=8-1 |

I'm surprised you're not interested in Sarum, Rebecca. Did you check it out yet?

A Conferderacy of Dunces is brilliant. I read it many many years ago, but hardly remember details. I would love to read it again. The author committed suicide
and his mom found the manuscript when going through his stuff, and had it published after he died. Bringing Down the House would be fun too. I really want to
see 21.

I've watched documentaries on the Bringing Down the House story, and I do want to see the movie a lot, but I think I'd rather read the book first. Ok,
so those two are definitely going on the poll, as is Nikki's suggestion. And fuck it, I'm putting Sarum on there too because I still think that all of
you girls who are obsessed with England and the Tudors, etc., would love it. I haven't read it, but I read one of Rutherfurd's other books, London: A
Novel, which is written in the same way (following a handful of families throughout the centuries) and it was brilliant.
Anyone else have any suggestions?

I'd recommend looking all the books up on Amazon or Barnes and Noble and seeing if they've got any preview chapters or excerpts. That's what I did
the last time around and I found it very helpful!

Not necessarily for this time, since i think it is going to be a love story, but Stephenie Meyer has a new book coming out on May 6. It's called the Host.
She is the author of the Twilight Young Adult series (which are great actually) and this is her first adult novel. Sort of sci-fi, but she's saying
it's sci fi for people who hate sci fi. (Sci fi is not really my thing, but the book actually looks interesting.)
Just thought I'd throw it out there. It may be too far out there.

Kelly- I've read preview chapters and it was quite good. I love the Twilight series so I'll probably be picking it up to read anyway.

I thought the preview chapter was good too, Nikki. That's why I threw it out there...plus I knew I'd be reading it anyway. I'll actually be on my
way to Forks two days after it comes out, so I'll probably be reading it on my way to the Olympic peninsula where the Twilight series is set.
I'd also read the 21 story, or Confederacy of Dunces. They both sound interesting. I just don't know anything about Sarum...I might be interested in it too. I'll look it up.
