It Is Time.

Underworld by Don DeLillo? This same edition can be found at Amazon (beware, Amazon may be cheaper but it takes 2 weeks to ship!) or B&N. FYI, the thing is ~900 pages long!
Should we maybe start with a shorter book?
Also from the NYTimes list is McCarthy's Blood Meriden (330pp; amazon; b&n) , Roth's American Pastoral (430pp; b&n), Morrison's Beloved (which I've already read), and Updike's Rabbit series (I say we hold off on a a 4-book series).
Of course, we don't have to start with the books with multiple votes. Other books I'd like to read include (in no particular order) Roth's The Human Stain, Morrison's Love, Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49, Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, Kafka's The Trial. (Click on the titles to be taken to B&N websites.)
What have you guys been eyeing?

I'm down for McCarthy's and either of Roth's books as possible #2s...
