It’s been a week, so I thought I’d keep everyone updated with the current list of book suggestions and a reminder to pipe in with any others you’d like to see us consider for our first read. We’ve gotten a few really excellent suggestions, which in turn inspired me to tack a few more on the end. I figure we’ll give it the rest of this week for people to suggest some more and on next Monday, the 14th, I’ll post a complete list for everyone to pick their top three choices.

I will also attempt to winnow the list a little bit in case there are books it looks like it’ll be difficult to get a hold of. Realistically, that just means I’ll check Amazon and see if the book is available new or used, assuming any book that can easily be bought from Amazon can be found from other sources as well.
