The end of September is almost here! I hope the Non-Jedi Protagonist material is coming along well and you're finding it enjoyable. A discussion post will be up at the end of the month.

In the meantime, October will be another themed month. Theme: Comics

I've pulled all the remaining book suggestions into a poll for what to read in November. It's a good mixture from all over the board so hopefully something strikes your fancy!
