Can we please have a good book for the next book? We've had 3 duds in a row. It's getting tiresome to be reading lousy books.
And yet, when I look back over the months before that, I see that the last three months have generated considerably more discussion. Granted, a fair amount of that discussion has been your announcements that the book sucked , but still, at least these last books have been interesting, each in their own way.

I expect Passing to generate a lot of discussion. There is so much ambiguity in this text that I doubt whether any two people will see it the same way. On the plus side, it was short: novella rather than novel, so that should have made you happy.

Having said all that, I think it would be better if the next book came from a different era - something more modern would make a pleasant change, I think. But we'll see what comes up.
