50 Books' Book Club discussion

Start the nominations here!!

This is so exciting!!

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

Cloud Atlas looks wonderful so I second that one. I would also propose

Fire Ants

Sorry -- my nomination isn't coming up

Fire Ants by Gerard Duff

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Well, it's the 31st. Should we wait for more members to join or should we vote for a book, the four of us? :)

I would say Catch 22 by Joseph Heller

I'm also curious to read "Catch 22", so that is my vote

It's up to you all. If you would like to see if we get some more members in the next week or so, we can wait. Maybe conclude the nominations on August 7th, vote August 8-10, and then start the book on the 11th? Then we can start September's nominations a little earlier.

Help spread the word about the group! I would love to get enough members to do a themed topic, or some challenges!

I agree. We can wait until next week. 50 Books' Book Club will certainly get some new members :)

Sounds good to me :)

Fine by me to wait . . .

Hi, all! Although I just joined, I have been following your discussion on book choices. I had to look up a couple of the books, and I think Cloud Atlas looks interesting. Looking forward to reading with you!

Ok, so here are the nominations thus far:

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
Fire Ants by Gerald Duff
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

We will start voting on Friday August 7th, and let it run through the weekend.

How do we vote, on a new post or a poll?

I have created a poll for voting!

Vote, vote, vote!! It will end Sunday night!

"The Terror" by Simmons Dan

I took the liberty of inviting everyone to vote in the poll who hadn't done that yet. I hope people don't mind :)
