Could we do the Messenger by Markas Zusak. No series, and it's only 350ish pages long and I'm sure PG will second this idea.

*Copies Blurb*
Meet Ed Kennedy - cab driving prodigy, pathetic card player and useless at sex. He lives in a suburban shack, shares coffee with his dog, the Doorman, and he's in nervous-love with Audrey. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence - until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery.
That's when the first ace turns up.
That's when Ed becomes the messenger.
Chosen to care, he makes his way through town, helping and hurting (where necessary) until only one question remains. Who's behind Ed's mission.
Truly a very, very good novel.

The Kite Runner. I forget who the author is, but we read this last year in school, and its a really great book. Great story, and it means a lot.

Actually that wouldn't be a bad idea. But next month is a tale of two cities.

I'd be up for the Kiterunner for December if people want. It's one of those books I've always been meaning to read.
Also what date are we starting A Tale of Two Cities and who else is up for it?
