What book are you reading now? What book were you reading before and what will you be reading next? Out of those three, which one have you anticipated the most?

Jurassic Park  
Catcher in the Rye  
Lost World

Most anticipated: Lost World

Welcome, **bookmoney**! You’ll get the hang of things in no time. If you’d like a little help getting oriented, check out ATMB (About This Message Board), which is the repository of rules and guidelines around here. Or, if you prefer the Cliffs Notes version ;), they can all be boiled down to our golden rule: Don’t be a jerk.

Since you’ve found our monthly reading thread, I’ll go ahead and lock this one.
