Re: AMF Book Club #4 - The Nominations
Can I nominate Small Gods? It's part of the Discworld series and one of the few standalone works in the series - the general consensus seems to be that the first few books are actually a bad place to start since the style shifts a few books in, so I feel like this would be the best option.

Re: AMF Book Club #1.5 - The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Finally finished The Road. After reading this I don't get the hype for this book at all. It would've been better if it was just a short story. The story really drags out with almost no substance. Just the same scenarios about searching for things over and over again.
