Uglies!!!

Okay, I'm going to take the initiative on this, and the next book we're reading is Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. It's the first - and best - novel in a series of four books about a dystopian society that is a little too obsessed over physical beauty.

I first read this book for a book group several years ago and instantly fell in love with it. It's a fairly quick and easy read, so don't let the 425 pages (in my copy anyway) intimidate you. We'll breeze through this fairly quickly, I imagine (once I figure out the reading schedule...).

So, please comment if you're joining in on this one and also note whether you've read Uglies before. I think we'll give it a week for people to get their copies before I post a schedule. So, actual discussion won't start for another couple of weeks.

Now, go get your copy! Yay!
