So here is the final list for all book club members to vote and decide what title to to read for our first session. I narrowed down the readings from our suggestions to represent those that seemed to have the most interest, or that I thought would be a good fit for the vision of the club. Also, bungo only allows 7 poll options. There are others I would have liked to list, but not enough space. If I left a title out that someone feels should have had more attention, comment below and we can work it out.
I got a lot of great suggestions for various fantasy series. However, as the club is still young I think an entire series would be a bit much to try for our first session. For that reason, I excluded lord of the rings and other series, because I think it will be best if we start off with a stand alone work to get our mojo going. I'll provide a list of links to the works above, so you can check each one out before casting your vote. Wiki articles usually have a lot of spoilers, so I'm just leaving an amazon link for each...
If you are interested in joining the club, but haven't yet, here is a link to our b.net discussion group:
