Call for Nominations: Book for Feb. 15 to March 15 ...

MATT: Well folks, I do hope that your time with "House of Spirits" has been both rewarding and (shall we say) haunting (seriously ... whew).

But even as we embark on a discussion of that fantastic tale, the time has come, my well-read friends, to talk of other things ... of shoes and ships and sealing-wax of cabbages and kings ...

And of what lovely literature the month of love shall bring ...

So, then, the question is, what should we read?

I would suggest, as possible candidates, "Essays" (by Michel de Montaigne) or "Blindness" (by Jose Saramago). Send along any other ideas and we can have a poll up by Friday, Feb. 5.
