Hey, so I'm back from Ottawa and I had a pretty good trip.

So the book club starts tommorow. The first book is Catch-22, then it will be Lord of the Flies. The winners of the second round of voting are Tale of Two Cities, To Kill a Mocking Bird, Bad Twin, The Third Policeman, Of Mice and Men

Here's the complete outline of how it will work...

  • June 20th- July 3rd:Catch-22
  • July 5th- July 18th: Lord of the Flies
  • Take a two week break due to the release of the new Harry Potter book and the many people who will want to read it (me included )
  • August 1st-August 15th: Carrie
  • August 16th- August 29th: Through the Looking Glass
  • August 30th- September 12th:AWrinkle inTime
  • September 13th- September 26th:A Tale of Two Cities
  • September 27th- October 10th:To Kill a Mocking Bird
  • October 11th- October 24th: Bad Twin
  • October 25th- November 8th: The Third Policeman
  • November 9th- November 21st: Of Mice and Men
  • November 23rd- December 5th: Book 11
  • December 6th- December 15th: Book 12 *This would be a short book, as it would only be a bit over a week
  • Take a 2 week break because of holidays (Christmas, New Years...)
  • January 3rd- January 16th: Book 13
  • January 17th- January 30th- Book 14
  • I'm going to have to last round of voting at a latter date.

    Glad you are back! The 21st!! That is when I can read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I am excited. Last year I read the 6th book in a day, but then I had to reread it. Hmmm....I have never read Catch-22. I love to read!!

    I still have to get a Wrinkle in Time and A Tale of Two Cities. And I can't wait for Harry Potter. Are we still gonna meet here and talk about it that week, even though it isn't on the list?

    I hope we do!! I can't talk about it around here (my house) because nobody reads the books except me.

    I went to the library today and got Catch-22 and LOTF, not knowing that they were the first two books!

    I suggest moving Of Mice and Men to the December 6th- December 15th slot, because it's a very short book. It could be read in one day.

    I'm really glad Of Mice & Men is on the list, I read it at school and loved it when Ben and Sawyer were quoting the book at each other in Every Man For Himself.

    And I like your Harry Potter idea its a great one. I don't think I'm going to take part in the first few because I'm reading Order Of The Phoenix and no.6 again because I've forgotten most of it but count me in for the rest of it

    I don't have enough time in a day. I can't read Catch-22 or Lord of the Flies, I am really busy. Don't worry though, after Harry Potter comes out I can read the rest according to schedule.

    I've been reading Catch-22, but haven't quite finished yet. I had never read it before. It's a little different than I expected - even with all I had read about it beforehand. I also checked the movie out from the library to see how it compares with the book, but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. How is everyone else coming along with the reading? Tomorrow we are supposed to start Lord of the Flies! I'd better get busy!

    Catch-22 was one of the oddest books I've read. Just plain odd.

    Good to have you back, sorry for the really late reply lol.

    So whatever happened to our book club? Did it move somewhere else? If not, we've sure been quiet! So far on our reading list I've read Catch-22, Lord of the Flies and Carrie. Very different books than what I normally read - and very interesting to see how they connect to Lost. Some of the others on the list I have read previously, but wouldn't mind re-reading at some point.

    Did everyone see the bonus feature called "The Lost Book Club" on the Season 3 extras DVD? It was very interesting! They go through a lot of the literary references in the show.
