Well I don't know how well you all considered this went this first time around, considering we didn't have much discussion and who knows who will actually read this and when, but shall we keep this going and move on to another book? I think it does help in applying more pressure to actually read and finish a book.
Erica, I know you had a suggestion. I forgot the name, but it had to do with driving and feminism.
I have a few books from Christmas/my birthday that I'm planning to read soon that might make good choices too. They include: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz, The Braindead Megaphone by George Saunders (a book of essays) and Tree of Smoke by Denis Johnson (that one is huge).
Thoughts?

How about a Virginia Woolf book? It'll be the only way I can get Jamie to read one (my greatest ambition). I have no one to discuss her brilliance with currently, and I swear I would contribute an enormous amount to this blog. Does my bribe sway you?
It's definitely tempting. I've never read any Virginia Woolf myself (though I have read The Hours), and I have always really wanted to and feel guilty about it. I always think that I'm going to start a novel of hers next, but then I choose something not quite as challenging...so it would probably be good to have the added pressure.
