As expected, the volume of suggestions for the VBC (Virtual Book Club) was underwhelming. (Actually, can it be both "expected" and "underwhelming"? I think so.)
Right now, the options are:
Anathem by Neal Stephenson and
100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (an oldie but apparently a goodie).
I'm still taking other suggestions before finalizing. I know that I have one blog follower (the poor speller who suggested the VBC in the first place) who will read the selection no matter what it is, and I won't even post as a suggestion anything that I am unwilling to read.
In other words, if you follow this blog and you are a good speller, you can pretty much write your own ticket and suggest any book that makes sense.
Currently, I am reading American Pastoral by Philip Roth. I have not read much of Roth, but I have had this book on the pile for, well, years, and it's time I read it. The VBC book will follow.
Remember, Reading is Fundamental.
