(I HATE that I have to use quotation marks for book titles in the Subject)

I will start a discussion group here on DU of the novel a visit from the goon squad. We will start the discussion on Wednesday, 1/18/12. That will be the date to START reading. I will post a more specific schedule to this thread in a bit, but it will be about 100 pages a week. Each section will get its own discussion thread.

Let me know your thoughts as we move forward with this experiment.

that it was okay to use ALL capital letters in book titles, so I always capitalize when italics are not available.

One of the websites that says it's okay to do this is this one:
