I'm in agreement: one fiction, one non-fiction is a good way to spread things without diluting too much.

Of course, if we go from 19 clique members to, say, 190, then 3 or more books may be a good idea. :-D

As for what you've recommended here, I'm always up for Orson Scott Card. His writing is nothing less than phenomenal, so here's a vote for "Lost Boys". "The Historian" also looks interesting, as does "The Savage Detectives", though I gotta tell you, I'm a HUGE fan of paperbacks because they're cheaper. (Most of my hard cover books have been bought in thrift shops.) Then again, going to the library is not out of the question.

However, I'd also like to introduce into the mix the following:

• Soon I Will Be Invincible (Heard about this one on NPR)
• World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

Both of these have I been eyeing for the past couple of months, and both seem incredibly enjoyable.

The Savage Dectives is available in paperback--that's just the first link I found.

I've heard that The Historian is a great book, though somewhat in the vein of The Da Vinci Code (which I really enjoyed, though I know some didn't). If we don't pick this one, I'll let you know how good (or not) it is, but I have very high hopes!

I vote for The Historian, and it isn't really like The Da Vinci Code, as it is an entirely different story line.

I also vote for Portrait of a Lady.

I read The Historian 2 years ago and although being a long book I read it in a couple of days. I found it very good, although very fictional it contained some facts and history I never knew before. Not wanting to spoil the story I'll will not say much. But if you like fiction and history you'll like this book.

I vote for the thirteenth tale, and the historian.

The Historian sounds good to me.

As Darice stated, The Historial does contain some historical fact. It's a good read.

Hey guys, just bumping this up so anyone who's going to involve himself in December's read will have a chance at voting!

So far it's:

Lost Boys: 1 (Gnorb)
The Historian: 4 (Erin, LorriM, shadowsun7, Josh)
The Thirteenth Tale: 1 (shadowsun7)

Anyone else want to weigh in?

Wait, don't we have until the 7th before voting closes off? (Alright, so sure, The Historian probably wins...)

Of course we do, I'm just trying to ignite the fire under our butts. :)

Savage Detectives sounds good; The Historian is INCREDIBLE ... a book I wouldn't mind reading again.

Today's the last day to vote for this month's fiction book, so get your votes in!

Looks like I'll have to pass on this month's fiction book. I'm looking at my bookshelf now, and there are a few books already waiting for me -- The Dying Earth, The Algebraist, The Solar Cycle, and a ton of short stories. I think it's best I sit this month out.
