Run Off Vote

The votes are in. We had three for Orphans, Three for My Sister, one for Suite and one for Cereus. We therefore need a run off vote. Please either vote for When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro or My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult in the comments to this post.

Book Selections

Everybody should have their copy of the next book, Kafka on the Shore, very soon. We need to set a meeting date, which will be held at our house - does September 7, 2006 work for everyone? We also need to select the next book after Kafka - so everyone please post one book selection to the comment section of this post and when all the selections are in we can vote.
