It looks like we are in a dead tie and have been for a while. Not sure if it is going to change or not...perhaps this is just a primary. LOL

I saw the play on Broadway - and two touring companies.

If "The Kite Runner" wins, it's cool with me ... I have it on my list to read this autumn anyway!

Oh do go, it's really good. If possible try to get good seats up fairly close.

I totally vote for the kite runner, if I can.

That is the most significant book I have read since Trinity.





Another great book is "Confederacy of Dunces".

There are three or four really good other choices on that list.

Nice selections.

The poll will end on 11/5 which is Monday.

It is my suggestion that everyone be given a week to locate a copy of whichever book is chosen.

Most of us will take a lot less time than that, and we can all talk back and forth about if we may want to start the discussion sooner than that.

What say ye?
