So do we read one, both, or do we pick if we want to read one or both?
Probably a stupid question, but hey. I'd also like to know how the time will be working - is it going to be like we have two weeks to read and two weeks to discuss, or the month to read and discuss the next month while reading the next book (which I think would be confusing) or something entirely different?

Yep, Anza's idea sounds like a good one (with a spoiler warning in the title so people don't click when halfway through the book). I'd say, pick whether you want to read one or both- you may want to decide depending on a) how much you like the sound of the poll-winner b) how much time you end up with in September, and c) whether or not you can actually get hold of both of the books.
I haven't read any of the books in the poll, so I simply checked the reviews and availability on our public library's web site and voted for the one which seemed the most interesting and was available easily. Though it wasn't the only one that sounded good, actually, most of them probably are good.
Now all I have to do it finish Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders book three, so I can get to the Book Club book. It shouldn't be a problem, concidering how fascinating the end has become. I can't put the book down!

Picked up my copy of the Handmaid's Tale today from the library, the woman working there knew right away which shelf to look from, so I guess more people read it than I expected.
Anyway, I also came up with a suggestion for the October book today. Why not read a book by Paulo Coelho?
We could take one of the classics, The Alchemist, which I think is a wonderful book. The language may seem simple but one can find meaning in them. Or then I'd suggest Veronika Decides to Die - another clever and brilliant book (you have to be comfortable reading about institutions for the mentally ill though).

Actually, you want this topic:
viewtopic.php?t=3865
for suggestions on next month's reading, and links to individual book discussions.
I'll lock this one.
