decision?

are we going with "divisadero," then? and what are we doing with it?

my pick

so this would be my vote for the first book. I've wanted to read his work for a while. He is apparently one of the greatest contemporary Canadian writers alive. (woot woot support for Canadian Lit.) (He is also Sri Lankan)
anyway this is his latest novel. I think it could be exceptional.

what are we doing here?

three questions seem to be at the top of our agenda:
1) what is the point of this book group?
2) how will that goal be met?
3) what will we read?

so... what say you?
