And the winner is...
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffnegger, with 40.74% of the vote.
Very close runner-up, Saturday by Ian McEwan, with 33.33% of the vote.
So what I thought is, why don't we do both? What do people think?
Those who want to read and discuss The Time Traveler's Wife can do so too, and those who want to read and discuss Saturday can do so too, and then everyone will be happy (except the 14.81% who voted for The Count Of Monte Cristo and the 11.11% who voted for Small Island).
Barring objections, I will set up a forum for each book in Book Groups. I will set up links to online bookshops so that users can buy each book through us. It will help us greatly if you can do this, as running this site costs a lot more money than it brings in, and you will find a much lower price online than in, say, Waterstones.
