Ok, so first order of business is some official book nominating. You should comment on this post when you reply (look at me and my blog speak!). SO let's limit the nominations to Top 4 Picks. Also, we should eventually look at what people have already read as a factor....For example, i would guess maybe half of us have read Kite Runner and therefore that might not be a good option...but we'll get there team. we will.
Ok, so nominate people! and please re-nominate even if you already send an email to the group. Let's get a book picked by the end of the day tomorrow??

Additional suggestions:
If possible, please link to Amazon or B and N or Kirkus reviews or something when you post your book choices-- this way everyone can make "edumacated" decisions!
1) Omnivore's Dilemma
2) The Perks of Being a Wallflower
3)I Feel Bad About My Neck
4)The World is Flat
Woops. I did it wrong before, here we go:
1. The Ghost at the Table: A Novel, Suzanne berne
2. The Dying Animal, Philip Roth
3. On Beauty, Zadie Smith
4. Memories of my meloncholy whore, Gabriel Garcia Marque
5. The memory keeper daughter, Kim Edwards
6. The big shuffle, Laura Pendersen
7. Backward facing man, don silver
I still don't have a list but based off of the ones we have so far i will put my two cents in
i love Zadie Smith and vote for On Beauty --- been really wanting to read it for awhile now
I'm intrigued by "I Feel Bad About my Neck" ----
gaddis, blogmaster, perhaps you should decide what we read this time since you were the former of the blogspot...boo ya ka sha
I don't have a list yet, but there is one book that I really want to read. Not only was it an international best seller! I heard it was good/interesting from multiple people. It's called "Many Lives, Many Masters" by Brian L. Weiss, M.D. It's about past lives and how we all have one...he also wrote a book about soul mates. The link on Amazon is: http://www.amazon.com/Many-Lives-Masters-Prominent-Psychiatrist/dp/0671657860
OK, my list (I know I am late):
1) Another vote for ON BEAUTY
2) Another vote for WORLD IS FLAT
3) THERE IS NO ME WITHOUT YOU (devastating, beautifully written account of the AIDS epidemic in Ethiopa)
4)
MIDDLE PASSAGE
I would also like to vote for On Beauty and Thje World is Flat. I would like to add the following:
1. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer
2. Our Man in Havana, Graham Green
