I skipped yesterday. I worked a long day and was staying away from keyboard and reading for my book club tonight. We're reading The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien.
If I had posted, I would asked you what are some of your favorite books that you want to talk about? There are a lot of great books, but not all books illicit discussion. Tell me those you'd find interesting to discuss and I'll take them to book club.
For now, it's Friday.
I wanted to talk about the future projections (I thought the political changes were asserted but not shown) in Visit from the Goon Squad, but I haven't run into anyone who's read it yet.
Blergh. I'm so uninspired, and my weekend is going to be so busy. Today is my one day off, it's already mid-morning, and I've accomplished NOTHING. Blergh.

I knew I recognized that name; In the Lake of the Woods was one of most disturbing books I've ever read.
A Safeway in Arizona discussion could get pretty feisty. I just finished Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, which I liked, but I don't know that you could do a book club around it.

hmm... I barely have time to read, so I don't think I can give any suggestions.
P.S. I liked your typo up there (and I know it's really impolite/bad form to point it out, but I couldn't resist)... I suppose that books about illicit activities would probably elicit lots of fun discussions. ;)
