"Sex Drugs & Cocoa Puffs" is sitting unread on my nightstand, so I'd love that to be the first selection.

to all,

so everyone knows, the point of a book club is to be open to ALL books and to expand on your probably aready extremely vast taste in literature already. i am saying this b/c posters are going to start recommending books and people are going to start getting uptight about the book selected when they should just relax and read it.

with that said, i am open to any book suggested.

late,

I thought it was sort of good, but nothing amazing. I think it would be a poor choice for first book, there are way better things out there. It has some funny and interesting bits but nothing much more than that. Worth reading, but I think it wouldn't be too great for discussion.

SD&CP is a tough book, 'cause it's a collection of essays. I think you'd want something with a slightly more unified theme.

The first book should be:

"Surely you're Joking Mr Feynman"

I'm serious.

i'm in.

oot inspired me to FINALLY read catch 22, as well as confederacy of dunces and global brain.

i'm finding catch 22 pretty dull after ~50 pages, does this preclude me from the book club?

All,

Isn't the idea to read a book we've never read before? Doesn't that make it hard to recommend one? How about we go off the NYT best-seller list or something?
