Then Chad tries his hand at guessing which ten fiction titleswill make the shortlist. (Spoiler: He ends up picking fifteeneither because he can't count, or because this is a reallydifficult group to pare down.) Next week they'll be discussion the Reading the World Book Clubtitles for March: The Vegetarian by Han Kang andDiorama by Rocío Cerón. (And with a little luck, they'lleven have a special guest.)
