i've always wanted to read Memoirs of a Geisha. I will however read anything!
Suggestions for our second book folks?! Sorry this took a while, but the best things are worth waiting for! Fun times ahead for sure!
The booklist we chose from last time:
http://bestsellers.about.com/od/book...ading_list.htm
We chose one from the first 3, so perhaps we want to choose from the next 3? I'm open to any alternative suggestions:
4. 'Three Cups of Tea' by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin
5. 'Memoirs of a Geisha' by Arthur Golden
6. 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time' by Mark Haddon

This one also sounds good, I shouldn't start looking at books . . I just want to buy them all I already have a library starting in the house
I have read "Memoirs of a Geisha" and would be happy to re-read this. Have more recently read the "The Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" which was also an excellent read.
"3 Cups of Tea" is on my to do list, and that one "Sleep" sounds pretty good too.
Oh decisions decisions! HA HA! I love books, and like yourself, I tend to buy more than I have time to read!
I love 'The Dog in the Night-time', started 'Memoirs of a Geisha' but couldn't get into it, and 'Before I go to Sleep' is the next book I planned to buy. My choice would be 'Before I go to Sleep' but I'd read any of them.
o.k, I really can't decide! they all sound very good to me :-\ Why don't we read one this time and the other next?
"Before I Go to Sleep" - S J Watson. Everyone seems happy to read this so let's give it a whirl!
Is it ok to give ourselves until end July to read this folks?
Sounds good to me!
DEAL!

£7.79 from amazon, hardback.
I know hardbacks are more expensive than paperbacks, so for those who would rather wait and buy the paperback version, I think it should be available by about mid June, which would allow you a couple of weeks to read if prior to book group discussion in July.
Tilly Teckel - do you want to lead the questions for this one?
Cheers folks - Happy reading! x
Good find on Amazon there!
I'd be happy to lead the questions this time but you may need to give me reminder a week before - I have a mind like a sieve
All excited again now, hope lots of peeps join in this time!
Hi,
Can I join in? :/
The more the merrier! Just get yourself the book, enjoy the read, and check back on here July time to join in the discussions :O) x
Will get the book today. Can't wait
Spotted the book in Tesco today for £8. Mine is the way from Amazon or I'd have bought it. Handy if anyone wants to join in without buying online.
