And the runner-ups (and winner) are:
Last week a couple of friends of mine and I decided form an informal "book club". We agreed each would submit four books to the other two via e-mail by today and we'd decide which one to read and discuss at a later date.
Well, here were my four:
Misadventures in the (213) by Dennis Hensley
Geography Club by Brent Hartinger
The Summer They Came by William Storandt
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon
After sending e-mail messages to and fro, we narrowed down to East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Our discussion date will be the 31st of this month.

OH MY! New look? Why'd you change it? I've heard so much of East of Eden, I have to read it one day.

Interesting new look.
RE: East of Eden.
Started it last night. Just 20 pages so far, but I think I'm going to enjoy it.

Re: reading.
I still have to secure the book. Hmmm. Maybe this weekend.
And speaking of weekends...
Wil Wheaton will be in the area (SoCal) and signing. Need to start reading his book. Sigh.

RE: other layout.
Thanks, domynoe. I'll post my reasons later but it boils down to words. I just found the other layout to be too...restrictive.

RE: book club.
We actually formed in informally. I've noted for some time that my two buds constantly were exchanging books and discussing them when we met weekly. I finally decided to join them and...bam!...the "club" was formed.
I know there was a group that met at a local B&N but never participated in it.
