Yes, there is a book for February: The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I'm taking a chance in choosing a book I've not read myself, because I wanted to read one that would be a surprise for everyone. Actually, my sister is reading it right now, but hasn't finished it yet. But that's a good testimonial right there -- she has very little free time and yet whenever I see the book lying around, she's 20 pages further in. Apparently it's a suspense novel about a young man who decides to leave his underprivileged life in a small town and attend an elite eastern college, where he gets drawn into an intriguing group of students studying Greek and gradually uncovers some dark secrets about their little society. That's all I know. If the language and characters are anything like her other book (The Little Friend), it should be a pretty stunning read...
