I vote for The Kite Runner, but I am easily swayed. I'm a flip flopper!
1984 seems to be on 4 different lists....that's my vote. :*)
And, I love this blog thingy....it makes me feel like I can keep up with those young whippersnappers with their technology.
I suppose I'd read any of them....I'd also like to read The Kite Runner....but maybe I'm just saying that so I can post on the blog again.
Thanks for setting this up Debbie!
I'd rather read Kite Runner because I've already read 1984.
PS: Debbie - can we turn word verification off for the comments?
I turned word verification off, hopefully we won't get too many spammers:)
ummm...I saw the movie Kite Runner and really don;t want to read it. 1984 reminds me too much of the Bush years and I am kind of enjoying the bliss of the possibility of totalitarianism not replacing democracy.
Is there something a bit more fun and thought provoking?
(and just a side note, as I write this I am in class, the kids are watching Sean of the Dead, and I am making myself sick with Twilight Sweethearts...shhh they don;t know I'm eating candy in class)
Ann - as I want to read Kite Runner eventually (even if it's on my own) I'm curious to know why you don't want to read it? Did you hate the story?
beautiful story, I just get enough real life depressing, tragic and unfair stuff that happens to good people with my job, so I have been trying to get some hope and uplifting stuff from my entertainment/spare time nourishment.
New suggestion: BONK
I want to read about sex!
Bonk sounds really good.
(I figured out how to log into my google account through here, so now I'm fourtwenty....don't get confused)
:*)
Jodi
ohhh-grown up sex! sounds good to me.
Bonk looks good. I enjoyed reading Stiff.
So is it agreed? Are we going to read BONK for our next book?
I'm good with Bonk.
I'm good w/ Bonk as well, and I think Laura expressed interest - she's the only one we're waiting on for the final ok?
Laura...Laura...are you there? :) Please confirm so that I can add another donation to the Amazon coffers.
