I know you all have been on the edge of your seats wanting to know what the book club will be reading in 2010. Well, the wait is over! After the cut.
January: Graphic Novel Month
Usually for January we have a "Now for something completely different", so this certainly still fits into that theme. It's just more specific! Par example, Amy will be reading:
February: Newbery Winners Month
Casey will be reading:
March: Philosophy month
Will be reading:
April: Books Made Into a Movie Month
Amy, Will, and Casey will all be reading:
Additionally Amy and Casey will be reading some of these, heck yes Disney movies we're talking to you:
May: American History Month
Will will be reading this:
June: Judge a Book by its Cover Month
Undecided what any of us will be reading. Basically, we'll just go to Border, library, etc, and read a book based solely on which cover we like the most.
July: Two Sides of the Same Coin Month: Relationships
Also undecided what we will be reading. But basically, we will all choose a separate book the addresses a different aspect of the general topics of relationship. For example, you could choose a man's perspective, and someone else a woman's perspective, or a positive viewpoint vs a negative viewpoint. Then the idea is that after we read this books there will be a discussion or debate type scenario on this topic. Hopefully will be interesting.
August: Legitimized Fanfic Month
Will will be reading:
And Amy will be reading something along the lines of:
September: Banned Books Month
Which is appropriate because Banned Books week turns out to be September 25 - October 2 2010. Undecided as to what we will be reading. But there is a plethora of books to choose to from. Take your pick.
October: Unfinished Novels Month
Casey will be reading:
November: Fiction Based on Fact Month
Casey may be reading: (based on the life of Laura Bush)
OR: (based on the underworkings of the mafia as connected to the J.F.K assassination)
December: Christmas Gift to Yourself Month
Good old December. Just buy a book you want, any book at all, and treat yourself to the luxury of reading it in the busy month of December.

Good list this year guys. Sorry i couldn't give my input, but then again, I rarely stick to the schedule anyway. Here are my comments:
I have the curtis sittenfeld book if anyone wants to borrow it.
I m very intrigued by the JFK book and not at all surprised (amy).
Maybe for unfinished novels month, we should all revisit our own unfinished novels?
I question the legitimacy of fan fiction (can fan fiction ever be legit?). Also, what the hey is contact harvest???
Can I come for the relationships discussion? With some popcorn maybe?
I see Will’s contribution with this American history month. Good one. And philosophy month (Sidenote: I dare amy to get through an entire philosophy book. Will it be easier or harder than getting through the Hobit? But perhaps I underestimate her).
Who thinks Ella Enchanted totally got jipped when it was only honored and didn’t win a Newbery? Uhh, me for one.
Yes, I do believe Ella Enchanted was jipped! That book is the perfect melding of strong, self-sufficient heroine meets ultra romantic, whimsical fairy tale. It will forever remain in my top 20 because it deserves that honor, at least...
Also, I think any philosophy book, especially one from the Greeks is more difficult than The Hobbit...That's my opinion. Mainly, the difficulty lies in not totally understanding the contemporary culture and/or the roundabout style of argument. I may read some Nietsche (sp??) though. OR read some Sartre. His philosophy sometimes appears in fiction form.
