Once a month we will choose one book which members can read and discuss over the next month. Hopefully this will lead members to open their eyes to books that they would not normally read.
The discussion aspect should also allow us all to gain a greater understanding of what we are reading. We may even get some insights into them that we would not have otherwise had.
Suggestions for the book each month can be added at the discussion below. If there is an overwhelming response to one book then that will be chosen otherwise I will chose the book at random from the list.




Suggestions need to be in by the last day of the month so that a new book can be picked by the first.

Everyone needs to be aware that as the dicussions may contain spoilers they should not enter into that books discussion until they have read the book.

Hi Everybody,

I hope some of you guys have already started reading. I just wanted to start by asking people to refrain from going into too much detail on the discussion boards this early on... lets maybe give it until the 14th so everyone has had two weeks at least.

But for those who haven't finished reading maybe you should avoid the discussions until you are done.

Also, and I'm sorry I've been a bit slow responding to this request some people wanted some more details about where they can get the book
