Book talk, August and September

Here are some recent recommendations from Book Club

• Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn
• The Indian Clerk, David Leavitt

I though we mentioned more -- add others in comments.

And October is Should-Have-Read month. I got mine from a list in the Guardian, although I really thought the list was 100 Notable books, not 1000.

So what are people reading that they should have read? Here is a partial, tentative list that we won't hold anybody too if they change their mind:

• On the Road, by Jack Kerouac
• Song of Solomon, Toni Morrison
• Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand
• Moby Dick, by Herman Melville

Atlas Shrugged, by the way, clocked in at Audible.com as the longest book in their catalog at 60 hours. Or, as I recollect it, April and May 2010.

Again, add your own. I did an abysmal job in noting what people said.
