Done with Dunces

I know that our book club now is more offical than before... with it's blog and all. And perhaps this time more people other than women who were at the time yet to be recognized in the title of said club will read the chosen book, but I thought I would report in and let everyone know that I finished the read.... and you all have no excuse for not doing so, because I read Toole's comedy while enduring night after night of contractions. Although I had hoped a birth would interupt my efforts, it failed to do so. Unfortunatley due to the somewhat unpleasant circumstances under which I read, I neglected to see the proported prize winning humor. Three stars from me.

A Confederacy of Dunces

We have our first reading— The Pulitzer Prize winning book A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. 

Me too, me too!

Dear Bookclub,
I haven't heard of these new-fangled "books" that have been suggested, but I'll bone up and cast my vote soon enough. It's kinda like that bumper sticker you see on the back of red-neck pickup trucks, "My vote cancels out your vote!"
Sincerely,
Carl

The Slacker Chimes In

Well, I guess that leaves me.

I've read about half the suggestions everyone has given. I'd vote for Atlas Shrugged - it's on my list anyway. Beyond that I'd like to suggest a biography of a President or General, or a history of a major event (Pearl Harbor, Civil War, Declaration of Independence, etc.) Or something like the Federalist Papers (I know, yawn)

Anyhoo, that's my 2 cents.

Hey Gav-man. Maybe you should just put the list on one of those poll sidebar things and we can vote. Or give those stragglers, like Chris, a deadline. Let's read before I start reading Twilight again!!!! Just kidding, really, well maybe :).

Are we going to vote on this?

I am one who has not read a copious amount of literature so I am willing to go with what ever is decided upon. I suggest we vote soon before I lose my new years resolutions. If it is too difficult to vote then I nominate Gavin to choose one and then we move on to the next order of business.
