You didn't mention the rapture! If that happens, will the club still be on? *NM*

Hi Rafonauts
It's time to organise our first Read and Find Out Book Club!
Make suggestions here for what you think we should read for November. Remember that it should be something that people are able to get their hands on and it shouldn't cost the earth.
We'll take submissions until Friday next week (midnight RAFO time) and then run a Quick Poll on it the Monday following (that's 19 October). Hopefully we'll be able to run that for more than one day but we'll see.
We'll let you know the final choice on Thursday 22 October and then you'll have nearly a month to get reading - loads of time!
The Book Club will officially open on Monday 16 November, barring some kind of world catastrophe and/or Armageddon.
Thanks.

Well, we could always discuss Nabokov in December.

How about a classic novel?

You have a very strange definition of classics... *NM*

Replace "strange" with "erroneous" and I'll agree with you.

for classic science fiction, your list contained one I could support...

You said "classic novel". Science fiction doesn't generally meet that standard.

I like your list.

I think if you're gonna do Eco, picking another book to start with would be wiser... *NM*

Foucault's Pendulum seems like the obvious one.

Based on past experiences here and elsewhere, it'll be hard to choose the "right" book

That Hitchhiker book is as genuine as the "new" Winnie-the-Pooh book

Perhaps, but it's worth remembering that...

The movie was not faithful to the books in any meaningful way. *NM*

The movie sucked, yes. Adams had also been dead for four years when it came out. *NM*
