Reading the book…

September 19th, 2008, posted in book club

who else?  I know some of you are either close to finished or are already finished.  So, I guess we should start discussing or rather, continue discussing.  I am on page 33 currently and it’s GREAT!  The guy definitely has a way with words plus it’s about Cleveland, plus I’m a sucker for stories about death (what is that?), plus it has already talked about many places I”m curious to explore, plus so many people I know and love are also enjoying it.  Anyhow, nice easy read but I am still finding it hard to find time to actually read.  damn kids.

I gave up…

August 9th, 2008, posted in book club

I surrendered to my children and returned Love Medicine to the library.  I hadn’t made progress on reading it in 1 1/2 weeks so maybe one day I’ll get it back out from the library.  Personally I would still like to participate in this group and do it like a “traditional” book club where the book is chosen and we have an allotted amount of time to read it.  I feel like a month is long enough although I failed at it this past month.  Anyhow, I”m moving on, having enjoyed the conversation so far.  I will pick up the next read suggested by John and get going.  Thanks all!
