Books we didn't choose, a book we should choose

Here's a list of nominated books that weren't chosen (yet):
The Accordion Family
The Art of Fielding
Swamplandia
The Rules of Civility
The Marriage Plot
In the Kingdom of Men
The Chaperone
Eating Animals
Drop Dead Healthy
Life
Wild
And--any book by Michael Pollen

Here's one that begs to be read by all Seattleites: Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple. If you haven't yet heard about this one, the title character finds herself reluctantly in Seattle, immersed in all of the city's cliches. I'm definitely putting it on my "must read" list.

Books for May and June

We've added books for May and June-- Lunatic Express in May, and Buddha in the Attic for June.
If you want to do any additional reading prior to discussing Lunatic Express, the author also has a blog (http://thelunaticexpress.com/)though the most recent post is about a year ago.
