Ok, since Twylah insisted...

I will chose the first book. I think we should read "The Things They Carried" in the collection by the same title. It pretty short, so we can get through it quickly, and it'll build our confidence.

I do warn that there is language and violence, but it's a war story so it's not gratuitous. I'd rate it pg-13.

If you all object I'll suggest something else, I have other things in mind that I'd like to read as a group.

So let me know what you think down there in the comments box. I think that we can give it about a week to find the book, and less than a week to read it. It's really short.

Have fun!
