“And now we come to the interactive portion of the program … “

Now that people have started commenting on the blog, I thought I’d open things up a bit.

You’ve seen the beach reading list I put together. Or if you haven’t, go check it out.

I’m open to suggestions. I love comments. So here’s what we’re going to do.
Leave a comment on this post, recommending a book that isn’t already on the list. Tell me why you like it.

Next Saturday, 20 June, I’m going to randomly select one of the comments. That person will win their choice of one of the following :

Special Topics In Calamity Physics (book club edition softcover) by Marisha Pessl
Rant (book club edition softcover) by Chuck Palahniuk

I haven’t read the books – they were book club selections that wound up getting sent to me because I didn’t get back to the book club in time to tell them not to send them to me. I figured somebody should enjoy them.

Whichever book doesn’t get given away will probably be involved in a future contest, so keep reading

Contest closes at 11:59:59 PM Pacific Time on Friday, June 19, 2009

Good luck!
