Tuesday's and Thursdays are great for me. I think that late January would be best for me, too. Hope all of you have a great holiday! Happy New Year!

Tentative Date To Meet?
Hey everyone!
Just thought I would check and see what everyone's availability is to meet and discuss the book. I probably would say towards the end of Jan. would be best. Tuesday and Thursday nights still work best for me. Just add your best dates and times, and we will go from there!
Also, when do you want to go see Kite Runner?

Choices
Okay...I'm not sure exactly what we want to say constitutes a "classic" but Lolita (1955), A Clockwork Orange (1962) and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962) all have copyright dates after 1950.
I would say we should choose from Tender is the Night and An American Tragedy since those two were repeats on lists.
I'm going to see if I can create a poll so that we can vote.

Decisions are the worst....
So who has the final say in what we read? My knowledge of classics is small...so I leave it to someone else. I am ok with whatever we read, I just want to get reading!!!! =)
