gondhir went to Mordor (and happily came back safely), I joined the Doubleday Book Club. They were offering a single hard-copy volume of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (at that time, The Two Towers was in theatres). I got six copies and sent them to the beardless dwarf, and he distributed them to friends.Since then, I haven't had time or inclination to choose a single book towards fulfilling my obligation of "four books in two years". Therefore, a couple of months ago, they cancelled my membership, asked me for $67, and sent me four coupons for books from their "selection of popular titles".
Here's the list. What do you think I should get?
- 01. The Broker by John Grisham
- 02. Unexpected Blessings by Barbara Taylor Bradford
- 03. Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz
- 04. State of Fear by Michael Crichton
- 05. The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
- 06. Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
- 07. The Rising by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins
- 08. Impossible by Danielle Steele
- 09. The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
- 10. Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss
- 11. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling

- 14. The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
- 15. The South Beach Diet Cookbook by Arthur Agaston
- 16. The Perricone Promise by Nicholas Perricone
- 17. Survivor in Death by Nora Roberts writing as J. D. Robb (why do famous authors use alternate pen names?)
- 18. NASCAR for Dummies by Mark Martin (is-- no, not gonna say it)
- 19. The Ultimate Weight Solution Cookbook by Phil McGraw (I've heard good and bad things about these books)
