Which book should be January 2009 BOTM?
[quote=""JMJacobsen""]I'm in Pierce County. I should probably overcome my irrational paranoia of libraries (the pressure of reading it and returning it in a certain time period just seems crushing to me, ha ha) and get a library card.
Either way, I'll do my best to read whatever everyone chooses.

I don't know what books PC has in their catalog, but KC does have them - try for an ILL. I've had two odd-ball Dumas Books come from Olympic College which I believe is in your neck of the woods. You'd think they'd reciprocate.

[quote=""Ash""]Can I change my vote? I voted for one that doesn't look like its going anywhere, and want to revote for FP. (1000 pages went by amazingly quick. I think I finished it over a long weekend)[/quote]
That's the thing, some people look at the size of the book and quiver in their boots. This puppy just flies as quick as Gone With The Wind did.

Amazon is selling the paperback new.
I'll have to pass also right now. It's a book I want to read, but because of the length it would have to be a summer read (which means no school work to do!).
