October's Book


Okay, so I will go first. October's book will be "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury. Let's plan on starting the discussion on October 28th and that way it will be done in time to start a new book in November.

Here is a brief description. Enjoy the book (or don't).

"Few American novels written this century have endured in th heart and mind as has this one-Ray Bradbury's incomparable masterwork of the dark fantastic. A carnival rolls in sometime after the midnight hour on a chill Midwestern October eve, ushering in Halloween a week before its time. A calliope's shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. In this season of dying, Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery. And two inquisitive boys standing precariously on the brink of adulthood will soon discover the secret of the satanic raree-show's smoke, mazes, and mirrors, as they learn all too well the heavy cost of wishes -- and the stuff of nightmare." - Barnes and Noble

Is there somewhere we can order this cheap?

It is only $6.99 at the bookstore, but I am sure they have it at the library.

I got it for $6.99 at B&N. If you go there and give Mom's home number you can get a 10% discount too.
