Both of these were suggested before and I'm not opposed to either.

I've read the Kite Runner and loved it - don't mind reading it again. 

Anyone else want to put in their two cents worth?

You could pick both Kite Runner and The Secret Life of Bees. Since several of us have already read them, including me, we can skip the reading part, and just start discussing them.  :D

I haven't read Water For Elephants. I think the NY Times Paperback Bestseller list is a good bet, they should be available and hopefully good.

I'm glad I can't be queen.  ;D

I have read both Kite Runner and Secret Life of Bees and both are excellent reads.

I'm leaning towards Water for Elephants for the following reasons:

Although I've read both Kite Runner and The Secret Life of Bees, I can't remember either well enough to discuss without re-reading.

Steve and Kate have also already read Kite Runner and The Secret Life of Bees. 

I have absolutely no idea what Water for Elephants is about and I am curious.

Any objections?

Water for Elephants is still number 2 on the Paper Trade Fiction NY Times Book List.

Like you, I read the other two a couple of years back and would need to reread to discuss.

How about Yardtick?

You know, I've been reading some posts by "4" - who is going my Daisy Head Mazie now - and I'm thinking maybe we should read "You're Only Old Once" by Dr. Seuss LOL

Let's do Water for Elephants, and while we are all reading, we can discuss what we remember about Kite Runner and The Secret Life of Bees, and Jan can feed us quotes from You're Only Old Once. Covers all the bases.

I think so.  I'll have to get it also.  Will look at Sam's Club this weekend.

In addition, we need to come up with a date to start the discussion.

Jan, what date are you thinking about for the discussion?

I'm currently trying to prepare my house for sale, so I don't have a lot of free time, plus I still have to purchase the book. 

Today is the 11th, does 5/1 sound good?  I have no idea how long the book is.
