Maybe we need to have two competing book clubs, or book gangs. One Gang will be called the Kids Klub and we will read children's books and be happy, and the other gang can be called The Professors and they can guilt-buy the the adult books and never finish them.

I suggested Kafka on the Shore as a joke but if we're going to bookclub it I'll participate because that book hit me right here when I read it *points and cartoon dotted line is drawn between my finger and my heart* |

re: low page count, I'd like to throw out What We Talk About When We Talk About Love by Raymond Carver it's a collection of short stories so it's not a cohesive whole but Carver is probably the best short story writer I've ever read

I figure if we procrastinate and just keep suggesting books, I won't actually have to read a book and I can play a video game instead. |
