There seems to be a problem with locating copies of Strange Traffic by Irene Dische. Chapters online says that the book is out of print, and Amazon.ca only holds a couple of copies. The other recommendation of Carolyn's that received the second highest number of votes was Fugitive Pieces. We may need to consider switching the book choice to this novel since it is readily available. Thoughts?

Sounds good. Lets switch.
Just realized that I will be out of town for this month's book club meeting. My mom planned a last minute trip to Vegas! I'm sorry to miss it!

Sounds good to me too. I'd still like to read Strange Traffic though. If someone has a copy kicking around, I'd love to borrow it...
Have fun in Vegas!

I'll bring my copy in August.
I was looking online today, and between Amazon.ca and Chapters.ca, we may be able to gather enough used copies to still do Strange Traffic. Perhaps we can make a final decision on this book at our meeting next Wednesday.
Hi all,
I am also fine with switching the book to Fugitive Pieces and then just borrowing the copy of Strange Traffic as it is passed around! I've always wanted to read Fugitive Pieces also, so it's a Win-Win I think.
