Book club, December 2

Ok, the chat thing wasn't exactly a huge success. Which means, no book club title has been selected. I've heard suggestions for The Black Cauldron, an Ayn Rand title, and The Charioteer by Mary Renault. I'm more excited about either a non-fiction title (maybe Pres. Hinckley's bio) or a non-gay fiction title. I'm a little gayed out as far as books go for the present. But, hey, I just work here. Santorio suggested taking the month off, and that's fine with me too. Whatever you guys want...

Suggest titles and I'll put up a poll soon.

I've been wanting to read a classic for a while. my suggestion is a Charles Dickens or Herman Melvil's Moby Dick. or even a bio and L's suggestion works for me.

as far as church bios go, rough stone rolling or the recent david o mckay bio are interesting and provocative. i'm afraid that the gbh bio will be a little superficial

i still vote for the backslider, an easy read.

from the back cover: 'frank windham is just a mormon cowboy--hard-working, trying to be honest, convinced he is going to hell for incurable lust, and convinced that he deserves to. he has as ultra-pious mother, a brother who is more than just a little touched in the head, and a comfortable lutheran girl friend who knows she has been saved... '

"The Plague" by Camus is one of my favorites which I would recommend. And there's nothing gay about it! ;)

The Plague

Just looked at the poll, and I have to say that ANYONE who has time to read "Atlas Shrugged" between now and the end of December either:

1) Never sleeps, or
2) isn't human, or
3) likes Grape Nuts.

Yeah.

"Atlas Shrugged" is a horrible book and I hate it with a passion. ;)
