    I only usually buy second hand books unless it is one I really want, I might give this a go but a month is a long time, I will have forgotted what the book was about by the time we get round to discussing it.
    Astoria 20/04/06, Leeds 25/08/06, Prague 22/09/06, Wembley 18/06/07,
    Dusseldorf 21/06/07, Manchester 17/08/09, London 18/08/09, LA 06/10/09, LA 07/10/09.

    just read it and discuss it whenever as i'm sure others will have finished it before the month as well?

    maybe ask the others if that's ok... i'll probably read it in 2 weeks or so... if i wait a month i'll have forgotten as well

    I'm in the middle of a great one at the moment and then I have The Road to read so after that, I reckon I'll be in.

    the road was the best book i've read in a long, long time. i think it's the kind of book you'll either love or hate.

    i ordered the book club book from amazon...can't wait to start reading!

    Brilliant :) well the one I'm reading right now is amazing but thick and with small writing so it's taking me more than a few days to get through :o . I'd gotten used to the kinda books you'd read in two days at the most :D so it can be frustrating like 'I've been reading for 2 hours now and I've only read 20 pages, wtf?' :D but it's worth it... and then I'm looking forward to the road :)

    I don't think it's wise, you two reading Russell Brand's Booky Wook... you seem to already have his rather debauched attitude down to a t ;)

    well i think i read the road in two days so that shouldn't be a problem for you. i couldn't put it down and then couldn't stop thinking about it!

    I love finding books like that. The one I'm reading right now is 'shake hands with the devil' by Romeo Dallaire... fantastic amazing shocking book... and I've been reading it about a week now :eek: every spare second I've had I'm reading... just haven't HAD much spare time the past week. But I hope to finish it over the weekend.

    I was reading some of the reviews and agree with this one completely:

    "Most people say that it's a good review when they can not put a certain book down. For me this book was a completly different experience. I simply HAD to put it down, my frustration became to much."
