My point? If we can read books that do not for the most part exist to be conversational pieces on grassy knolls outside the university coffeeshop, I'm in.

Sounds like we're at the same school. I'm totally down with a book club. I've got my own suggestions just like everybody else, but i think it is a great idea. Lets not forget where this is spawning from. We all share a common interest in something in a little bit different than what is currently being force feed to the masses through the media machine.
Personally I say fuck the cannon. If the book I'm reading owes a great debt to some dude that died a thousand years ago, then cool, I'm sure someonme will tell me all about it usually before i even bother to ask. I'd rather read whats being produced by current writers. I personally hated
A Seperate Peace. I loved
Cloud Atlas. No, I don't think the two have anything in common.
That's my two cents.
