I skipped a lot due to life so I'm a bit confused. Are we doing more than one book a month? and why. I can't even remember if that was on the ballot.

No, if I understand it correctly, we're planning for the contingency that a book, for whatever reason, doesn't generate a lot of discussion. So we could move up the discussion deadline for the next book. I'ma just keep an eye on the deadlines and do my bestest.
Also? My book is officially in transit to my local library branch.

Okay.
Also can more suggestions be thrown out there for the future?
Yes, I should really go back and read the discussion but I can barely keep up with current stuff.

Erm, I don't remember whether that was discussed/decided. I say, if you've got 'em, give 'em, since I don't think we hashed out the fluidity of the list yet. I trust someone will chime in if I'm telling you tales.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Here's a suggestion: Winter's Tale, by Mark Helprin.

Trust my rage
Just wanted to say that I got my copy of The Intuitionist and have started reading. It's fun to read something just for fun before school starts. I used to love to read, but law school has really pulls from my fun reading.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Let me tell you, reading The Intuitionist while waiting for and riding on elevators is weird.

I'm hoping it will be a fairly quick read. barnesandnoble.com and I had some issues with ordering, so we'll see how soon it gets here.

My copy's taunting me from the hold shelf at the library. But that taunting ends tonight.

cereal (to stretch the definiton):
some comments through part 1:
To me the pace started off slow. I found the non-linear story-telling to be a little jarring, but after the first 25 pages or so I've started getting into the rhythm. Honestly, I'm finding the book to be a slow burn, not grabbing me right way with explosive plot development, but slowly building up my interest in this odd world and the underlying mystery. I'm simmering.
