That screen-names not from the book by any chance? The Collector (John Fowles) is one of the few books that kept me reading right to the end.

I went for :

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius - Dave Eggers

Silly me.

So whats the crack? - Will we all have to go out and buy the book that wins, which I'm totally on-board for.

The book that wins the vote is the first book to be read. The rest of the initial list will be in order of 2nd highest number of votes to lowest (with everything on 0 being decided on when it was nominated I suppose).

If you want to take part in the book club all you have to do is read the book. Whether you buy it or borrow it from a library or whatever is up to you.

No, it is merely a small homage to NIN, however I read the synopsis for this book on the Fowles books website (http://www.fowlesbooks.com) and it does indeed look like a good read.

agreed. so now are you setting a date by which we'll all have read this bad boy, our illustrious leader and twin-like man?

Right. nominations have finished and the first book to read is I, Lucifer. I guess what we could do is post up a thread for the book and once folk have finished it they can post comments, does that sound about right?

I'll update this thread with the full order later on this week.

[Spoonie]

excellent. probably worth mentioning in the title that there will be spoilers, so that people don't fire into the thread before they've read the book and ruin it for themselves.

Chris,

Could we make a slight exception here?

Depending where American Tabloid is in the reading order, shouldn't The Cold Six Thousand be read next? Simply because it's the sequel..

Hmmm. That's a lot of stylised Americano crime to read in one go. I'd be more inclined to give everyone a break. Nothing's set in stone though, if once we get to American Tabloid everyone wants to carry on through Cold Six Thousand then we can do.
