that sounds great! book clubs rock :)
also you might be interested to know--our adult dept. has a special jane austen display right now since masterpiece theatre is showing movies of all her novels, AND in march (i think) they're going to have a jane austen tea! and we might get to dress up in 18th/19th century clothes for it! i am so ridiculously excited :)
I love that graphic, can I use it?
I've never read any of those books but the ones I've never heard of sound very interesting. Good luck and enjoy!
I've only read Lolita, but I'll check out some of the others.
That sounds like a mildly daunting but fun list of books. Of course, you know Larry's my hero. I'd join it just to discuss one of his books. :)
Wow, every other week. It looks good. I hope it works.
I am abig fan of Graham Greene's work! :-)
Sounds like fun Erica! Wish I could see a picture of the display! Do y'all flickr?
I got the graphic from Planet Book Club, Lesley. There is a link at the bottom of the post. You'll need to get permission from them if you plan to use it in promotional materials.
I'm excited about the list 'cos I haven't read any of them, Lesley and Diane. I've read other works by these authors except for Nabokov.
I think it's a little ambitious for 2nd semester college students, Bookfool and Rick. I'm keeping positive though, plus everyone should read a little Larry! :D
Too bad you are so far away Paul! You could add so much to the discussion. :)
I wish that I was there Maggie. Perhaps we shall meet someday. :-)
Along the banks of the Seine... :D
