After seeing all the votes, the results say that our first book is going to be The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. In order to be sure everybody can get a copy, we're going to start reading this next Monday, September 1st (try looking at your local library, or you can buy it here or here). I put a welcome note and stuff in the userinfo of the community and I'll keep that updated with the current book we're reading. Since the chapters aren't very long at all for this book [and since they're numbered strangely], I've made a schedule (see below), but I'm trying to be sure we don't read too many pages per day so everybody can keep up. Please take a look and see if this is good or if we should cut back a little. This book does, by the way, have kind of large font as well as illustrations, so it's not as much as it looks like.
Now, here's another question. Do you guys want to have a chapter-by-chapter (day-by-day) discussion on what we've read, or would you rather have something like a post once a week? Obviously everybody can post as often as they'd like, but we can set up an official post as often as you want.
