Nice. Arthur Conan Doyle might be the ticket.

 

[Fantasy Moon]

I'm always up for some Sherlock Holmes too.

 

[Landslide]

YEAH!!! A mistery book!!! Count me in!

Nine Tailors by Dorothy Sayers (Lord Peter Wimsey, church bells)
A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes)

A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle I've already read and I think it would give a good discussion.

By Dorothy Sayers I've only read Murder Must Advertise and I liked it very much so I would definitely be interested in reading Nine Tailors.

 

[Libra]

I second The Abstinence Teacher.

Have you read it?

 

[Anamnesis]

Not yet. I remember you posted about it once and thought the book sounded promising.

 

[Libra]

It seems like an interesting read,we'll see.

 

[joderu95]

Somebody suggest something else so I can second it.

[joderu95]

I might if something comes to mind, but for now I'll keep on with this new tactic I'm trying out.

So I nominate:

The King of Methlehem - Mark Lindquist
