I Just Want to Read (Book Club) discussion

What do you want to read next?

This discussion board will be cleared every month.

I was thinking maybe Rebecca or Uglies or Watership Down or Her Fearful Symmetry or anything really

I'm leaning more towards Rebecca because I have that book but not Uglies...

I also have The Hunger Games and The Graveyard Book if anyone is interested in those

i've read hunger games too, but I really want to read it again, so I"m cool with that! hahaha but I am also willing to read other books. I couldn't get the Book Thief from the library, so I couldn't participate in that one.. but yeah!

That's coolio - I'm reading the graveyard book right now so I kind of don't want to read that again in like two months.

Whatever book is easier for people to get their hands on - I'm just going to get 1984 from the uni library but I think I can only borrow it for a week so I'll wait a bit before I pick it up.

That's a good idea...

Yes. Yes there will be a poll.

I know I just joined this bookclub about two minutes ago, but I thought I'd put in my two cents! I vote for the Graveyard Book. I LOVE the author and haven't gotten around to that particular novel.

Anyway, I'll look forward to the poll. :)

Hello!

You should read the graveyard book now - I'm reading it and it would be cool to talk to someone about it.

I just realised it was by the same guy who wrote coraline - which I loved!

He's so creative, isn't he? I haven't read coraline yet, but Neverwhere is one of my faves! I'll pick up the Graveyard book tonight and get started on it!

Coolio - I can't get my hands on 1984 yet so I'm reading this in the meantime - it's good to have a reading buddy!

I don't really care, I've read uglies before so probably not that but i am fine with any of the others, o can just pick them up from the school library.

I miss my school library - when I left I asked my sister so many times to get the moth diaries out for me but she wouldn't, so I had to wait years to read it again!

Yeah I love school libraries although the one in my current school is a little bit lacking, they're trying to digitize everything.

I really hate that - you know the library in Perth doesn't even loan books! What is that about?

thats weird, what is it for then....

I don't really know... It is a state library - are they not for books? I haven't been in there to be honest, I was just on their site looking for how I would go about getting a library card and found out that they are for accessing the computers there and they don't loan books 'at the moment'.

haha certainly odd. As much as i love the computer age I will cry if I lose my solid literature lol
there's nothing better than snuggling up with a good book.

Yes! Like those e-books, I don't think I could stand that.

Is everyone happy with The Hunger Games for the next book?

Yes:) and maybe i can introduce myself here at the same time. I'm 20 years old and i am from Finland but at this moment i'm an au pair on connecticut, USA:) this seems like a really good bookclub and i like that there is not too too many members

Hello! And thankyou!

yay!

Hunger games sounds great to me! And 1984 is one of my favorite books, so I'm excited to discuss it here.

As for the graveyard book--I read it on the plane yesterday! Liz, what did you think of it?

I haven't finished it yet but it's pretty enjoyable so far - I like the way every chapter is a different year and a different adventure or two.

Yeah, it's cute! And showing the progression of time like that keeps it interesting! It made me wish that I was reading aloud to a kid, you know?

I wish I was a kid being read aloud to...

I had an intense f-ed up dream last night that had a kind of hunger games theme so I am super excited to read it!!

Let's vote again - what should be in the vote?

I want Rebecca, Uglies and Her Fearful Symmetry.

Any other books you want on there?

Is everyone happy with Uglies next?

Yeah uglies sounds good.

Any ideas for the next few books? I left this a little late so I might just pick some and if there are any objections I'll change it...

Actually I went through and picked some books from everyones shelf for the future (especially those that overlapped)...

Oh awesome, which books did you choose?

I chose a few so that I don't have to worry about being behind again - I chose:
Catch-22
Animal Farm
The Virgin Suicides
One Hundred Years of Solitude

The one I picked next was catch-22

July 22 - August 12
