We Can Has Beginnings?

Alright!

A select few people have had select few conversations about how we thought this "reading group" thing might work. Based on my (select and few) remeberings of those conversations, we decided to read 4-6 books this summer, with two weeks between each, and then meet on this blog (and maybe in person?) to discuss said books.

But before any of this can happen, we first need books.

SO! Could you each suggest a book (or two) that might be construed as anthropological / cultural studies-ish or just damn good fiction by Monday night this week?? It might be good to link to a synopsis as well... If there are many suggestions we'll have an informal vote of some kind.

Off to it!
