It is a good book. Instinct reccommended it awhile ago so I went and got it. Even my hubby read this one. I am reading Dinesh D'Souza's What's So Great About Christianity. He is coming to our church next weekend. I look forward to meeting him. I probably read at least one book a week. I look forward to this because I think it will get me into other genres.

It's not available in paperback but the hardback is only $12. Here's a link and there are reader reviews here, too.

"Dewey" sounds great, but I have also read both "the DaVinchi Code" and "Angles & Demonds" and love them both!!
... My next question would be.... are we going to give say 2 weeks for everyone to read the whole book, or break it up into a few chapters a week, and then discuss say chpts. 1-4 the first week, (speculation is so much fun - (and we have to stay on the honor system for no one to cheat and read ahead!) or are we going to read the whole book, after a certain amount of time and discuss it as a whole? I've done book clubs both ways, and there are pros and cons to each......
... being on line, and not face to face, we might keep interest better if we make it a weekly basis.... just a thought! -
Ummm, because I already belong to a book group, it would truthfully be easier for me to read the entire book and then discuss it. I'm afraid that if we break it up into chapters that I will get my books confused!
And, depending on the size of the book, we might need more than 2 weeks to read it, especially if we are in other groups and are reading for those, too.
Alicia, my book group has read The Notebook by Nicolas Sparks. Beautiful book. And there was discussion. But we read James Patterson's Suzanne's Letters to Nicholas and there was absolutely nothing to discuss.
I personally don't like to read what my mother-in-law always called "bodice rippers". You know, the mass market ones with the pirate and half naked woman on the front?
Last month we read a fluff book called My Heart May be Broken but My Hair Still Looks Good. It was AWFUL!!! The reason that we picked it was because it was set in our part of West Texas. Actually, I voted against it. There wasn't one thing to talk about regarding the book.
So, the short answer is - if you feel like you'd want to talk about a book with someone else, then chances are it would be a good choice. If you read it and think "thank goodness I'm finished" and throw it out, then no.
Romance novels aren't out just because they are romance. We read Ahab's Wife and I adored that book.

I hope Dewey is selected. I recently bought it for myself and haven't started it yet. (Still slogging through James Michener's "Hawaii!")

Gosh, NNGM, it was written by some woman in Dallas who probably has big, blonde hair. I honestly didn't want to read it but I was outvoted and we are the kind of group where we try very hard to let everyone pick something. But it totally sucked! I think that some of my brain cells actually died in the time that it took me to read it. Either that or they just walked off the job!

Wow, KW - Michener is never an easy read. Although (not surprisingly), I loved Texas!

I don't have much time for books these days but will try to keep up with this...
any reason why this thread is not under the book club tag?? I looks as though this is going to be very popular but from the front page you can't tell...
Oh wait it looks like this thread was started before the category was listed...nevermind!!! -

AB go and check out the message in the new category TDK Book Club. You will see there that ILMC will try to have a list today. Since she has set this whole concept up so quickly I will be surprised if she can manage to put together a list so fast but that's what she is attempting. I sure couldn't manage that.
We won't start the actual reading until March 1 so I think as long as we get the list sometime this week everyone will have enough time to get the books.
You need to email your selection to ILMC, not just post it on TDK. She gives her email address in her post.
