I was lucky enough to have the privilege of selecting the first book for our amazing/nerdy virtual book club. Needless to say, I feel there's a lot of pressure to choose a book that everyone will enjoy and will provide with some great discussion material for us. Earlier this week I saw a few different people in New York with copies of Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, so I'm going to take this as a sign that we should read it (hopefully this isn't just due to its renewed popularity thanks to the production of a film adaptation). Some of you may have read it already since it has been out for a while, so we can always choose another book if that is the case. It seems as though it would be a nice summertime read.
Other books I considered were Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger because I somehow made it out of my teen years without ever reading it. Also, I considered reading something by Carson McCullers. If any of those sound like more interesting choices, please feel free to say so or recommend something you would rather read. Otherwise, let's all start reading Water for Elephants!
