I voted for The Elegance of the Hedgehog too, but I'd be happy to read most of them.

I voted for The Elegance of the Hedgehog because I'm afraid Love in the Time of Cholera would be too long for a good discussion... If we do end up reading The Elegance of the Hedgehog, I'll probably read it in its original French version

I was waiting to see which ones became front runners before voting. I voted for The Elegance of the Hedgehog but I would also like Love in the Time of Cholera. Like Isa, I think it might be too long and the discussion would probably fall off like it tends to with longer books.

I voted for The Elegance of the Hedgehog just because of the name I haven't read any of the book club books, I have been so busy... And I would like to read them in english so it is harder to find the books... But maybe I try to find the book this time and read and maybe give a comment or two about it..

Wow that's not too bad. It must be a really popular book.

If anyone hasn't found it yet the book is onsale at Book Depository for $11.84 US or 7.19 pounds (you can change the currency around). The site posts free worldwide. When I order from BD it usually only takes about 5 working days.

When I order from BD it usually only takes about 5 working days. Thanks for the recommendation. There's actually a copy at the US site for $7.49 (50% off) which is a ridiculously good price for a new book (it looks a little sketch because there is no cover image). I think I'll order a it there.

Since everyone seems to be making plans to get the novel, I guess it's time to confirm that The Elegance of the Hedgehog will be the next book club book! I'll wait about a week before I post a schedule to leave time for everyone to get the book.

I'm 79th on the waiting list for this at my library and Bookmooch doesn't have it, so I don't know if I'll be able to take part in this. I really don't have the money to buy new books right now.
