"Okay, ladies, we need to pick this month's group read. The top suggestions were Outlander by Gabaldon and Lord of the Rings by Tolkien. Obviously just the first book from each series."
"Outlander!"
"Lord of the Rings!"
"Oh, god, don't make me read Tolkien."
"That's right, Janie only reads romance novels."
"Shut it, Rhea! I read other stuff. Sometimes."
"Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest stories ever told!"
"I'm not saying it isn't. I just found the book too long and boring. The movie was great, though. I will give you that."
"The movie didn't follow the books close enough!"
"Whatever! I still vote for Outlander. It's an exciting book from the very start. The show is pretty awesome, too."
"You just like all the sex scenes!"
"You know it, Natalie. Ha!"
"Okay, girls. Show of hands for Lord of the Rings? That's five votes. That leaves seven votes. Outlander wins, unless anyone has another choice? No more suggestions? Then we have our pick."
"Outlander, yeah!"
