July Book of the Month: Let the Voting Begin

Alright everyone, you know the drill. This week we'll make some recomendations about books we want to read and then we'll vote on what we want. And yes, I will be involved this time around. I had to back out of reading the June book of the month because of school but I am determined to read this one. So start making suggestions and we'll get started. I'll be back with mine a little later.

I didn't know we had books of the month.

I nominate "The British Museum is Falling Down" by David Lodge.

Bill Bryson is fantastic! I loved his second travel book, where he goes to Europe. I can't remember the title offhand. But it's great.

My vote goes to, uhm, Jasper Fforde. The Eyre Affair, because that's the very first book, and it's so damn funny and crazy and incredibly entertaining. Everyone's got to read his Thursday Next series.
