Do you wish to sign up to suggest books in the future? You may join the readership simply by locating a book and reading it. This month we're reading John Dies At the End and/or The Ear, the Eye And the Arm.

Certainly so, I have suggestions in mind.

Well, I have The Ear, The Eye and The Arm (whose name is incredibly hard for me to remember for some reason) on order, and I plan on looking in the city for a copy of John Dies At The End today. I looked at the local library catalogue online, and unfortunately the three available copies are at libraries I don't know how to get to.

Hmm, I just placed a hold through the library, but apparently I also owe $5.55 in latefees.
If I can't find a copy to buy anywhere I guess I'll just pay that and hire the book. :)

Do you have either of this month's books?
I've been to so many different bookstores, still can't find John Dies at The End. Looks like I'll be reading The Ear first, when it arrives.

The thing about the Kindle is, you don't necessarily need the money, depending on your relationship with software piracy laws.

Of course not. Who would buy an e-book when you can just buy a book...

Apparently (if I'm reading this bloody website correctly) my copy of John Dies At The End isn't available from the library yet. I think. At this rate I might not get to start it before The Ear, The Eye and The Arm arrives. Bah.
I've been mulling over what books I'm going to suggest, too. I have two in mind, but one of them is part of a series, and pretty much any of those books would be a good suggestion. I think I'll just go with the first one (they aren't exactly chronological), but the fourth one is excellent, as are most of the others. Even if I can't remember the later ones quite as well.

Bumping this because I just checked and my copy of John is available at the library! :D
I'll go pick it up later when they're open. Is anyone actually reading the books? This thread has been rather quiet.

I finished John Dies At the End very quickly. I've read The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm about five times already, but I'll probably go through it once more over the next few days. Trying to finish one of the Dune books first, and those take a while.

I figure I won't rush to discuss the books, since I know it's still early in the month, and many people haven't gotten the book(s) yet. Everyone should feel free to start a conversation if they're ready, though, just be sure to use spoilers!!!
