Opening Arguments

What are you reading?

A friend and I have done all three of the public library's "One City, One Book" programs ("Farenheit 451," "The Diary of Anne Frank" and "Frankenstein") and even bought study guides for the books. We kept waiting for this year's, and she finally decided to ask someone at the main branch, discovering there is no 2006 book. They had some silly excuse about being too busy with getting ready for the renovated building's reopening.

Maybe we ought to do a "One Blog, One Book" program. Anybody got a good book we can discuss?

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand would be one suggestion.

The Fountainhead would be good, if you're into excruciatingly long diatribes about the glories of selfishness.

How about "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis.

OK, Craig, I'll meet you way more than half-way.

Any book by Hoosier author Theodore Dreiser.

I've read Dreiser. Only the short stories though, never any of his novels.
