  1. Looks good. I'm impressed you guys look so far ahead. We go five or six books, but it's not a hard and fast order. Things change.

    We're a fluid group.

  2. Actually, I was only planning to do the schedule for 2008, but we figured that since we were doing voting anyway, we might as well make the most of the results.

  3. An interesting selection. 'Water for Elephants' is our April read. I don't know anything about it, so I must wait and see what I make of it.
