And the winner is . . .

Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. So grab a copy and get reading.

For those of you who were interested in reading Middlesex, hold off for a while. Based on everyone's interest, I imagine that will be next month's book.

The Nominees

Here are the nominees for the next Blogger's Book Club selection. Since we didn't have a huge response, I'm changing the rules a little. This month's selection will be based on a simple majority. Leave a comment with your choice for this month's book. The book with the most votes on Monday wins.

The selections are:

A HEARTBREAKING WORK OF STAGGERING GENIUS by Dave Eggers
