Sorry for running late on this one… Please drop some book club nominations for October (preferably not 1000 pages as we are getting started a little late).

Since it’s spooky season I’ll nominate John Dies at The End by Jason Pargin. It’s an awesome horror/sci-fi with a sharp sense of humor.

    I second John Dies At The End. You may find it under the pen name “David Wong”. Amazing book and a really great movie adaptation, IMO as someone who watched the movie first.

    I would read John Dies at the End. I enjoyed the movie and watched it long enough ago the only thing I remember is that John died at the end.

    I thought John Dies at the End sounded familliar. I remembereading “This book is full of spiders: seriously, dude, don’t touch it”

    So I recognize that the late request is my fault (sorry, Im new). So I am going to call an audible this month for two reasons. The upvotes and suggestions seemed to favor John Dies at The End, which I think is a great choice in general to read in October. In the future we’ll have a proper vote and get started earlier. I will take all the nominees from this list and add them to a post for next month and we’ll get a proper vote going for November.

    October Book Club is John Dies at the End.
