Book club - August discussion; October poll

[diet_poison]

Hey all! Yesterday's discussion on His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik is still ongoing if you have any comments you'd like to make!

We are reading Graceling by Kristen Cashore for September!

Starting NOW, I am taking recs for October! Please reply to this comment with TITLE AND AUTHOR!

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[(Anonymous)]

is there a list of everything that's been read so far?

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[diet_poison]

Um...hmm. I haven't kept a formal list. (Also I didn't run the book club when it first started)

If you suggest something that's already been read (fairly unlikely I would think) you can always just rec something else :)

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[shortysc22]

You did take over the most recent batch of book club, right? Maybe we should start keeping a list of books that have been read since May, I think we started?

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[diet_poison]

Let's see, working backwards...

August: His Majesty's Dragon
July: Para Handy
June: Dragon Thief
May: Maurice

is that right?

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[shortysc22]

Who Censored Roger Rabbit was before Maurice, we discussed it in the very beginning of May.

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[diet_poison]

Oh yes, thank you! So I guess we read a book for April too.

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

And wasn't there some other book about a dragon. A sequel to something else, I think...

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[(Anonymous)]

No, I was wrong, there were only two dragon books, not three. Oops, sorry.

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[diet_poison]

Yep, so far just two, and Dragon Thief was the one that's a sequel (to Dragon Princess which we read...I think in 2014?).

More Than Human by Theodore Sturgeon.

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[(Anonymous)]

I'd vote for this, but I know I'd probably just cheat and re-watch the miniseries again instead

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[sarillia]

I didn't even know there was a miniseries. I'll have to take a look.

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[dethtoll]

Given that it's October, perhaps Bram Stoker's "Dracula?"

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[(Anonymous)]

Oooh, yes! I think that would be a great read for autumn.

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

And Then There Were None
by Agatha Christie

A Natural History of Hell: Stories
by Jeffrey Ford

Whistling Past the Graveyard
by Jonathan Maberry

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[diet_poison]

double check the author on the last one??? I'm coming up with a title by a completely different person when I Google

ETA: ok never mind I'm finding that guy too.

Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[(Anonymous)]

The Lolita secret last(?) week reminded me that I planned to read it for ages but always chickened out, so maybe we can read it together.

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

[This comes with a whole army of warnings about rape, pedophilia, manipulation, perpetrator's perspective and probably more I can't name now, because I haven't read it yet.]

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

Bouncing of the above suggestion for Dracula, how about instead Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. Predates Dracula, but I'd guess a lot less people have read it, so it might hold more interest for more people?

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't read either of them and would be interested in both. Regardless of my own suggestion, I'd love something spooky for October.

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[diet_poison]

Thanks for the replies, everyone! I'll collect all responses in a post for tonight (hopefully) or tomorrow, as well as listing novels we've read to date (with current book club - I probably wouldn't be able to remember them all from before this year, though if anyone else has a list I'd certainly add it).

I may also throw in a rec or two of my own :)

Re: Book club - August discussion; October poll

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yes, if anyone remembers what the earlier book club read, please tell us. I wasn't around then and I'm curious.
