I never read A Christmas Carol so I thought it would be good at this time of year, but I will be thrilled to read Mockingbird as well.

It's been a long atime since I've read 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I would love an opportunity to re-read it.

We'll pick an official night for everyone to meet, determine a co-lead for you and set the first reading assignment. We will probably do that in the next couple of days. If anyone is a glutton for punishment and wants to have a night's discussion of A Christman Carol, I'd be of for it as we get closer to Christmas. |

I might be up for discussing A Christmas Carol, too, since it's a pretty short book. |

We can have a vote on it, at any rate. Are you asking because you have to read it for school? I'm not sure I want the book club to become a "let's do other people's homework for them" thread. That was my reservation against voting for To Kill a Mockingbird in the first place. That came out sounding more snarky than I intended, but I hope people see my point. |

Enough of us seem in agreement for Mockingbird that I think it is OK. And I want to encourage Shock or JT to colead. I don't mind discussing things about the book they might in class as long as they are active in the discussion and not just making side comments. I think we will know if that happens. I appreciate you being upfront about it and I don't think you came off snarky! |

I'm the only one who's voted for David Sedaris' darkly hilarious Holidays on Ice? It makes my somewhat dysfunctional family look like the Cleavers! I guess I shouldn't have a say, since I haven't joined any of the book discussions here yet.  |
