When we've got a few suggestions, I'll put a poll together (or someone else can if they beat me to it) about what book to discuss next month.

A lot of us are doing NaNoWriMo, so it's going to have to be something short and easy!

Should we start off with PS/SS if we're doing a Potter book, or how about I brace myself and try a Lemony Snicket one again?

What does everyone else think?

Well, I'm not quite sure how available they are in the UK, but I put in a vote for Robert Heinlein's Time For the Stars, Tunnel in the Sky, or Citizen of the Galaxy. All are rather short but very well composed. Not as humourous as HP or LS, but good reads anyway.

And I second the vote for Matilda.
