Let's get the ball rolling! 1 day ago

Since there’s six of us right now, everybody vote for the book to start. The first book to get 4 votes (or a plurality if we all 6 vote) is our book for November.

You can vote for one of these three:

The Magus by John Fowles
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman

or nominate and vote for another book from the BBC Big Read.

My vote is for Good Omens, since it makes good sense to start out with something quick and easy since we’re already 8 days into November!

The never-ending task 2 days ago

Cleaned some cabinets, defrosted & cleaned the freezer, replaced a toilet seat, reattached some door hardware, tried to vacuum but the vacuum seems broken. Damn it! I was going to try to clean my dryer vent with that vacuum, after spending a good hour or two in the crawlspace of the new house yesterday trying unblock the lint clogs from the ducts. All this work, and my “real” house isn’t a bit cleaner and my laundry’s still not done.

My suggestions for the book to start with 2 days ago

The Magus by John Fowles,
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, or
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman

Anybody read any of these already? Have a different book to recommend? Shall we make a list and take a vote?

Any other ideas about the logistics? E.g., do we try for a book a month?
