THE FINAL LIST

(Thanks, Bonnie! -- I think. ;)

So the official reading list for July is as follows, barring immediate objections (which I do not anticipate):

1. Atonement, by Ian McEwan (Anneke);

2. The Grasshopper Trap, by Patrick McManus (Carrie);

3. The Peterkin Papers, by Lucretia Hale (Rose); and

4. Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Bonnie).

I've never read any Russian lit so C&P should prove interesting. Something tells me that I'm going to be glad we have two light reads in the process. =D This will be fun! I'll change the sidebar directly.

The only thing I was unable to read this month was The Da Vinci Code. All 45 million copies at the library were checked out the entire month. Eventually I will get a hold of one of them and will post commentary after reading it. However, it would appear I'm going to have to wait (as I refuse to buy the book). Did anyone else get a chance to read it?

BTW, August's picks go to Bonnie, Erika, Sky & Anneke. If you four have a book you want to go ahead and suggest to us now, please go right ahead! Rose & I will be back in the loop for September. Can you believe we've come this far? I've enjoyed it. You all have really opened new reading horizons for me. Thank you. I hope you have enjoyed this as well.
