Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey ho, prospective book club members! It's time to choose the first book! Toss out some ideas and then we can take a vote on which we'd most like to read.

Myself, I have a stack of books on my "to read" list, fiction and non-fiction. A lot of them are classics or modern classics. I'd prefer to read something from that list but really I don't mind too much so toss out some ideas!

If you need to or would like to purchase the book in question I recommend Book Depository. Their prices are low, they don't charge for delivery regardless where on the planet you are (and I'm pretty much as far away from them as you can be) and they deliver in between one and two weeks. Pretty damn good site.

I'll set up a discussion post for every book and keep a note of what we've read here.

Aristophanes is hilarious. I have a copy of three of his poems. I bought it just for the Frogs. xd

No, but I think I have a copy of that one!

Because someone brought it up in another thread (and I loved the movie)...anyone interested in reading Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman? The Probable Future is also pretty good, but I've not gotten around to reading any of her other books.

I don't have Practical Magic... might see if I can buy it but probably will be hard coming up to Xmas.

Right, here's my list of (fiction) books I have to read:

Dracula
Exterminator! by Burroughs
Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe
Delta of Venus by Anais Nin
Beowulf
Confessions of an English Opium Eater by de Quincey
Possession by AS Byatt
Justine by de Sade
Ladies of Grace Adieu by Susanna Clarke
Woman in White by Collins
Junky by Burroughs
Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte
Hunchback of Notre Dame/ Notre Dame de Paris
Count of Monte Cristo
Coraline by Gaiman

The rest of the stuff on my reading list I don't have with me or is non-fic.

I would read Coraline San! ^_^
