OK, so I guess it’s just us for now, Maggie and Coral. I’ve thought about 3 books that might be good to kick this thing off. White Noise by Don DeLillo, Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem, or Bones of the Moon by Jonathan Carroll. They’re each on my “to do” list and I’m a big fan of the authors’ other work. I think any of them would be great picks for the book club. So what do you ladies think.
I highly recommend checking the books out of your local library. If you end up hating the book you don’t want to have shelled out actual money for it, right?
Any other readers who want to join in, please do. The more, the merrier.
I am pretty happy to give any of the three a go. Lead the way, Oh well read and fearless literary leader!

All right. I’m gong to make an executive decision and say that Fortress of Solitude will be the first book for our little threesome. Just let me know when you’re finished with it. No hurry.

ha, we have a threesome. i knew that my time on rmp would eventually reap fantastic…. LITERARY benefits.
i love you both and i will be getting this book asap. and it will be my next to read. is there a deadline? may 1? is that too long? i recently got a second job and now average about 70-80 hours of work per week. can we be slow?

Take as much time as you need. Just reply here when you’re finished reading; when we’re all through we’ll discuss the hell out of it.
