Karachi discussion

We tried to do a group theme for January 2012 read. I think we can do more of them if we can find a theme and books related to it. It will be interesting. So I opened this thread for suggestions

How 'bout science fiction?!
i am currently reading and it's totally fantabulous!!

Well, in Jan I plan to read Infinite Jest, and of course Never Let Me Go that I just voted for :)

Regarding Infinite Jest, have read some truly great things abt this book. Cant wait to read it actually.

As for the theme, I would suggest something darkish, say a dystopian thriller. There are some awesome books who seem to fall in this categ. Like Blindness, by José Saramago. (which I have just sent as recommended to all in my friend's list)

I ahve read so much dystopian books recently, I had no idea so hany books have been written in that category. 1984 can be one of them too.

Imagine a dystopian theme in feb, a very sarcastic way of telling 'love in the sir' to leave us at peace :p

Lol, indeed. 1984 was probably as dystopian as it gets. But u r rite, there are so many, Lord of the Flies, The Stand, u name it.

It wld be kinda freakish to read a dystopian novel in Feb, but I am all for it...
