June Book Selection

May 20, 2005 10:40

Hello all,

Any suggestions for our June book? I'd love to read something that's new for as many people as possible. Is there something on your to-read list that you'd love an excuse to jump to? Let us know.

As usual, I'll take suggestions for a few days and put up the voting poll shortly.

Thanks for the input! I think nonfiction might be a nice change of pace for everyone after frothy Pratchett.

I'll second yhlee's suggestion of the Adrienne Rich, since I have it sitting unread on my shelves.

Other suggestions from my sadly vast piles of unread books:
- Alberto Manguel, A History of Reading
- Emma Donoghue, Slammerkin
- Robertson Davies, What's Bred in the Bone (I think this has been suggested before)

Or I'd still love to read Sedaris's Naked, from last month's poll.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely put them all in the poll.
