A very helpful Cliffnotes-esque site, but much better, in my opinion. If you can suggest books from here, that'd be the best. A database of over 17000 books available online. Better yet, books available on e-readers. We'd also appreciate if it were a work of literature complete drivel that is easily located from a local library or book shop, as opposed to ordering something second hand off the internet and missing out on a week's worth of reading.

If you have any suggestions of books, choose something that will be appreciated by many people, and has many avenues of discussion. In this thread, we choose one work of literature absolute crap and read/discuss it over a month. Welcome goonlings to the Awful Book of the Month!
