First!

My name is Robert and I will be partnering with my cohort Lisa and doing an overseas book club as it were. This is going to be completely baffling to besides us. This is probably going to be a mix of an essay written 3 hours before it's due and an IM chat.

What we're going to do is make two lists of books. Pick a book that tickles our fancy from either list and blog about it.

I've read a decent amount of books in my life. Not nearly as much as an average reader but much more than your average person.

In any case, here is what I have:

1. The Rape of Nanking
2. The Man Who Only Loved Numbers
3. Bringing Down The House
4. What Do You Care What Other People Think?
5. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
6. Kitchen Confidential
7. Snakes in Suits
8. The Five People You Meet in Heaven
9. Haunted
10. Black Markets: The Supply and Demand of Body Parts
11. A Game of Thrones
12. My Sister's Keeper
13. The Golden Compass
14. The Glass Castle
15. In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto
16. Snow Crash
17. The Moral Animal - Why we are the way we are
18. One Hundred Years of Solitude
19. Solar

I think it's an intriguing mess of books.

Anyways, Seto, I'll pass the ball off to you and let you run with it.
