No CoC, so here one is. Good luck to both teams.
Any predictions?

September Book: The Maltese Falcon
Figured I had better get this post up since it's not that long of a book.
Good Reads Link
Amazon (Note that if you buy the kindle Canadian version, the price drops to $4, and if you are in Canada it is public domain)
Anyway, I'll start some threads for those who want to talk about chapters as they go along.
If you want to plan ahead for library reasons, we'll do Wintering by Peter Geye next month.
September Book Club Survey
Alright if we're going to do this we better pick a book.
CoC listed:
Warlock - Oakley Hall (471 pages)
The Maltese Falcon - Dashiell Hammett (213 pages)
The Good War - Studs Terkel (608 pages)
Killing Floor - Lee Child (525 pages)
Old Man's War - John Scalzi (332 pages)
The Plover - Brian Doyle (311 pages)
Watership Down - Richard Adams (478 pages)
BrianS listed:
"Elizabeth Moon's The Speed of Dark lists at 370, but that's a paperback and it reads pretty fast"
I'm going to throw in:
Peter Geye's Wintering (320 pages)
So let's go with those. If you plan to participate in some fashion (or not, why police that right?) vote in the comments* for your top three in ranked order.
I'll tabulate the results on Thursday. Hopefully, we won't have a tie, but if we do I'll just use random.org to choose from those.

Tiggers at Twins
This game matters.
What a nice thing to be able to say. I'll be hitting up Target Field a couple of times still this season, and its a great feeling to know that the games matter still.
The Tigers are sending out Daniel Norris against the Twins. In turn Ervin is going to mow down some MoTown folk.
Lineups:
Go Twins!

This is the first song
