Well I'll read the Three Men in a Boat book if it wins -- at least I'm pretty sure that one does have a dog in the book (I like dogs). Actually, I'll probably read the top three books as they all sound good.

despite the subtitle ("to say nothing of the dog") there is actually quite a bit said about the dog.

I can't seem to find the "Bramble" in e-book format (no Gutenberg, no Gallica)...

yeah, well, you go read both books, and then let me know what you think.
If the boat wins, I will read it and I do plan on reading Topper even if it doesn't win. So I'll be able to comment.

We have had "unofficial" book club discussion threads before. It happened with The Time Machine when it didn't win.

I'm going to be hard-pressed to read the winner this month. Not that I don't want to read every one of the books, but I have 22 books (paper books no less) that I need to read and get into the mail to people in my book swapping group. I spent too much time in June reading electronic books "just because I want to".

What are these "Paper-baked books" you speak of?

I still new here and I was thinking of joining in the book club this month....and then I saw it on the front page...so that made it even more tempting.
My Sony 505 just arrived yesterday & I just downloaded the top 3 books that are being voted on this month, so I am all ready now.

I decided to make my vote before reading the thread....so using the descriptions in the first post, I voted for Topper. However, it seems that Three Men in a Boat is coming highly recommended, so after reading the posts in this thread, I would like to read that now.

Is there a book on how to read faster? Then I could read all 3.

One way to read faster is to stay away from MR.
