Nice.

So do you guys want to do this monthly or fortnightly? I know some may read a lot faster than others. Also free to give your book suggestions here.

Unburnable is an excellent read. Wouldn't mind reading it again

I also suggest

The Famished Road- Ben Okri
The Book of Night Women- Marlon James
The Enchantress of Florence_ Salman Rushdie

I've checked the bookstores here and haven't been able to find any of the books you've recommended here or in the other thread. I hate we have such a limited variety available.

Did you intend for us to read a book and pick a date for us to discuss what we read so far? Can we try to decide on a book between now and Thursday?
