Getting back to the proposed book club, [View all]

I'm reading Adrian House's Francis of Assisi. It's scholarly in the sense that it's amply documented, but the research apparatus has all been shoved into the back of the book where it won't impede the reader. The style is fluent and reads comfortably. Would anyone else be interested in making this a book club selection? Cbayer and ST can "report from the scene" if they're willing.
