Nominations for the September book club read

[Star_Anise]

Who's up for the September book club? Spring is just around the corner here but well, that will have nothing to do with most members. So any suggestions for a spring/autumn read? How about a 'transitions' theme? Kafka's Metamorphosis comes to mind, but I think we've done that one.

[Star_Anise]

No takers for September?

[Winifred]

STill reading R & G Are D....so feeling too guilty to propose anything. Like your idea, though.

[Moony]

I would make a suggestion, but I can't think of anything for a transition theme.

I'm open to non-theme suggestions, I just like an idea to start with - even if we veer very far away from it!

[Moony]

How about The Strain by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan then? I'm reading it right now. I've really been in a mood for vampires lately!

[Maryd.]

As I am not fussy what I read right nos, I'll read whatever anybody else is readingn this month... Thanks guys.

[Star_Anise]

Well we are a bit into September now and we have one nomination, and two participants - I'm wondering if there is anyone else who'd like to join in? Two does make for a small club:)

[Jez]

Sorry, I have too many other obligations this month. :)

I don't really feel like nominating anything after G & D are dead was such a disaster last month.

At least if I vote for somebody else's nomination that should mean at least two readers will participate.

[Jez]

It was a disaster last month? Seems a little melodramatic. :p I haven't read the thread, but I might have to check it out to see the carnage! I didn't participate because I didn't like it the first time I read it. I couldn't explain why now because it's been so long.

Disaster? I prefer to think of it as a prolonged feast....

[Moony]

So are we going to read anything this month, or will it be postponed until October?

I don't think there's currently enough interest for a September book club, so the focus will have to shift to October.

Do we have members who would participate in an October book club?

[Moony]

I'm game for October.

[Winifred]

me, too. I'm still on August "to do" lists in several areas. Which is a shame. I was going to nominate Ovid's Metamorphoses, but it's pretty long, although we all probably know most of the myths....

[Star_Anise]

Well we'll take a break for September and get started on October, but trialling a few changes to make things a bit easier for people to get on board. New thread appearing momentarily:)

[River Boy]

Depends what it is to be honest. Nothing I had to sit through at school - like R & G are Dead
