Adens Mummy had the suggestion of Tuesday's Child, which is a book I don't know about but would like to learn.

We might also do a discussion on the books Lottery or Look Me in the Eye, with either/both we would have a good chance of having the authors participate in the discussions (though we probably should decide if that's something we like--I really enjoyed it, but I think it influences the discussion if the authors are going to join in. )

That's my .02!

Thanks for posting the sticky, Tom!

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

I looked up info on this book and am really looking forward to reading it.

I didn’t finish Tuesdays’ Child. Also my mum who devourers books couldn’t keep reading it either.
I'm part way through MKD and loving it.
I had to stop myself looking at the threads.

I nominate Jennifer Graf Groneberg's memoir, _Road Map to Holland_. We're lucky to have the author in our midst!

I'd be happy to lead the discussion. The best time for me would be at the end of the summer. That will give everyone time to get hold of a copy and read it (although I predict it will only take readers one day to finish--it's impossible to put down!)

OM, this book would be awesome and I think all of us will feel as if we wrote the book so it would make for really good discussions. I too vote for this book.

Hi,

Has anyone ever read Jewel by Brett Lott? One of my favorites.
