Neil Gaiman did a lot. He wrote Coraline, and American Gods for one. These are really well-received books. He is also famous for The Sandman. Check him out.
Well, if he is as good as everyone is saying then I'll...

I haven't checked, but I'm sure you could get it from the library. Don't tell me that there are no libraries in Miami, Zero. 
EDIT: Just a reminder, this is the last day to vote.

Vote = One More Day by Mitch Albom. Also, wouldn't it be a good idea to post the synopsis of the books on the voting list?

So we should go out and buy the book?
Definitely, I'll do that for next time.
If you want. Of course, if anyone is short on cash, other options are borrowing it from a friend, or getting it from the library. I checked it out at work, and I found a copy of the book for about $10CDN, so it shouldn't break the bank if you wanted to buy your own.So we should go out and buy the book?
The book for the month of August is Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.
Thanks, Straked. I hope to see you here in September. Don't be shy.

Ok, I'll pick this up on Tuesday when I go to the public library.

Dang it! This book wasn't available at my library. The only copy was taken and is due by the 13th.
How long do we have to read this?
You have until the 14th or 15th of the month until discussion begins. If you're a speed reader and you want to start discussing early, you can, but you absolutely must use spoiler tags. Or you're out of the club.
Happy reading!
Well no i will actaully be doing the opposite, I will be speed reading. But will be starting late.
I'm not the speediest of readers, but reading this will give me more time to spend to myself (and better yet, off the computer 
).
The only copy I can find (which is at the library) is checked out until tomorrow. Unless the person who checked it out is a lazy ***, I'll get it soon.

Some time down the track, instead of books, we could discuss song lyrics?
Leonard Cohen- Hallelujah is packed with metaphors and what not.
"Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah"

I sincerely hope with all due respect that you were joking here.
Otherwise, no. Please, no.
lol, I once made a thread for something like this, but it kind of died.
and im on chapter 13, pretty good so far.
Probably not, considering that this is a book discussion. Even poetry is stretch for something like this. (Plus, I spent the better part of the previous school year studying Romanticism in poetry, so I'm a little burned out.) But hey, if you wanted to start a thread on song lyrics discussion, that sounds pretty interesting.

My library is closed till the 10th due to inventory check, I'll be sure to speed read so I can finish before the deadline.You have until the 14th or 15th of the month until discussion begins.

Was thinking more poeople may contribute if they didn't have to buy/order the book and the text was in the thread, w/e
