I would like to read that book as well. I read parts in Spanish and most in English, but it has been a loonnngggg time.

Weighing In

I am in favor of 100 Years; that is definitely a title on my "oughta" list.

Next Selection

I would be interested in 100 Years of Solitude as a book club selection. That's one I would read with the group. When I joined for In Cold Blood I remember that the list you'd compiled at that time for potential picks featured Tropic of Cancer. I would read that as well.

Should have reads...

I've always wanted to read One Hundred Years of Solitude. Anyone else weighing in on this?

The Almost Moon

I can see what would be appealing about The Almost Moon. This book screams book discussion. I'm sure many libraries and individual book groups will choose it in the coming year. I have to admit, I am not a fan of the genre, however, and avoid it when making selections for my own branch book discussions. My vote would go more to books that are "should haves" or "always wanted to" selections, particularly books from other other regions. I know I could do better with World Literature.

What's Next?

Wellllll-I feel really out straight with the overdue books on every desktop I have at home and at work. I'm dying to get to Stephen Carter's New England White and can't renew it cause it's on hold for others, plus I have a big fat book for my Sept. book discussion that I haven't begun reading yet.
However, Ann and I were talking tonight about Alice Sebold's powerful new book. It can be read in a day or two and would make a great discussion - and maybe draw in some new people? It's called Almost Moon and I know Maryellen has read it too. Any other ideas would be appreciated!
