  1. For Book Club I'm leaning toward The Thorn Birds and Pillars of the Earth... For personal I'm leaning toward Snow Flower and The Curious Incident... ~ Angie

  2. I'm leaning the most toward The Help for personal -- but I will almost certainly read that myself if we don't pick it.

    I read reviews on Pillars of the Earth and that looks pretty great too. That is one I might not get on my own, but I would read it for our club. If we do that though, can we split it into more than one meeting? I saw that is is over 1,000 pages. LOL

    Lots of good suggestions, I'm sure the next book should be lots o' fun.

  3. 1000 pages! Holy Cow! We can't split it this month because I already have a book lined up for April. The book was published by a local author and she agreed to speak at our April meeting about her experiences writing and publishing.
