Was anybody else hoping this was an extension of Fievel's adventures? Just me?

American Creation: Not a Book About A Small Mouse's Quixotic Quest To Find Out How We Were Made

Bretheren,
I'm really amped about this book. Not only did I receive it an unprecedented 24 days before the end of the reading period(beating my previous record by the slight margin of 17 days), but the first few chapters exceeded my expectations.
Normally, I'm not a fact of historical reading. Why go into the past when you can travel to the future(mentally....for now-we'll be time traveling fast than you can say "Riddick.")! So far this book has been an interesting look not only into the Successes, but the failures of the Founding Fathers(FF's if you will). Should be an educational read.
I'm looking forward to being a member of the "finished on time" corps of the Brotherhood of The Book.

I haven't forgotten that I get two red hands of justice from each member.

I have chosen a book...

Everyone is passed in our hotel room here in Cali and I have a second to announce the next book!

After an hour long discussion with Oprah and a political debate with Hilary I have decided we all need to dive into:

American Creation: Triumphs and Tragedies at the Founding of the Republic (Hardcover)
by Joseph J. Ellis (Author)

It can be found at amazon or any bookstore (it is new)

http://www.amazon.com/American-Creation-Triumphs-Tragedies-Founding/dp/030726369X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1198610078&sr=1-1

that is the link i think...

It should be interesting to learn how our whole country came about...

Much love brethren!

The best entry so far...

I humbly accept the challenge and will brainstorm on my choice for the next few days. I propose we begin the new year reading the book and end the first day of Feb. I am also quite impressed that Josh was able to put down so many of my nicknames. Ahh the memories of where each of those came from--

Boys, MEN! Let's first see who is in this still...

My thoughts coming very soon...

The Reckoning.

well, i finished dom casmurro last night. i think i am glad i picked it. props to machado. your thoughts? i have more to discuss but will do so later.

i am going to name Joseph G. Brazier, III aka DD, aka Two Scoops, aka Brazy Train, aka Doble D, aka Nuts & Berries, aka J-Braz, aka Jo-Bray, aka The Surf Guru, aka The Founder of Kaiizen, aka Joish, aka Vin "Bio" Diesel, aka The Secret (Victoria's)... as the next grand book-determiner. i have a few reasons. first, you created this book club. second, you have read both books in the established time, faithfully. third, to spite dan.

luke, as much as i wanted to read the sequel to Darwalker, i think it is an unspoken rule that there are no tea parties in the brotherhood (i know dan has probably tried already to invite you to one with some of his "friends").

dan, you get the spirit award. you hustled really hard on dom casmurro. i'm proud of you. but, darkwalker cries from the dust. your punishment has yet to be meted out. i hardly think it fair to let you choose the book with the ink from darkwell staining your hands. i won't be the one to let that happen. not on my watch. maybe next time or the next next time. keep tryin' buddy.

mikey, sorry haven't heard from you in a while. i am sure you read and did a great job. i just felt like maybe it wasn't the right timing yet.

jimmy, don't think you are with us anymore SON!

willis, you don't read (except 7 Seconds or Less). but, chuck...

matt, i would have chosen you but i think this book club might just be a little bit too mature for you. let us know when you grow up.

Let the next book be chosen...*

*see above

yeah that's it..

the 20th is the date... do we want to already go ahead with the coronation of the next book chooser before so they have time to decide?
