Dilemna!!

Four people have given me nominations. 3 people have nominated the same book! If we stick to our usual rules you are not supposed to vote for your own nomination. Am wondering if we should just read the popular choice ??

Lets just read the popular choice, that would be my vote! Save a lot of hassle!

May I make a suggestion for a future read? Well, several of them? What if we went a few months where one of us DS bookclub members just chose the book? Either perhaps our favourite book, or one which you have read that you don't think got the attention it deserved? It would mean that everyone gets at least one read that they really want others to enjoy, that they can either take the month off or do a re-read?

We could all take it in turns, it would take care of the "admin" side for a bit too! And the person who picks, starts the discussion thread?

What do we think?

I think that's an excellent idea Lizzy.

Hi Guys - we've lost our way a bit here.

Does everyone want to continue ?
Should we fix a date for The Hundred Year Old Man ?

I don't even know what happened to me, but I'm back (I hope!). I used to keep DS open on my laptop and do other things on my PC, but my laptop died, and I can't seem to get used to using my PC for browsing DS. I've also generally slowed down on my reading this year, and I'm trying to turn that around. I have to get caught up on the last two books and just downloaded The Hundred-Year-Old Man.

The idea of us taking turns of choosing the book is okay by me (months after the rest of you decided to do it).
