You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

Sounds interesting Judy. Have to add it to my list - groan -my TBR list keeps getting longer - groan - !:-)

I know that feeling. I started to feel a bit dragged down in Slick. Now, I'm all re-energized with Mickey. :)

I think I could have more room on mine if I took some of the "meh" books I've read and give them away.

She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb is a great book... you shoul really consider reading it.

Sometimes that's all you need to do to give you that little boost. :)

Congratulations, Judy! :)

Yay! Congratulations on kicking Slick to the curb.

Let's hope they'll be purrfect (unlike the O's yesterday), lol! Enjoy, Judy!

They are smokin hot!!! :))))

Yeah, more O's on the All Star team than any other team - in the American League, at least. It is good to see.

Congratulations on completing your Slick's section! : )

Congrats! :)

Clever connections!

But really fun! I like it :)

that's even better!

I think it was a slog for everyone, Judy, but there were some good parts too. I liked Bro William too. You might catch the movie version w/Sean Connery if your library has it. It wasn't too bad. What I thought was interesting was the setting.

Yes. I know most people found those descriptions about philosophy and history a bit too "academic", but I enjoyed it a lot (I´m weird like that, I´m afraid). Many critics said there is at least two books within The Name of the Rose: One lightly and one heavier...

Glad you enjoyed it Judy!

Yes. You could read the lighter version omitting completely the other stuff, and you wouldn't be missing nothing from the main story

Rus, I only gave it two stars. I read your review, you make some good points."

Hmmm... who's review did I just read then? Off to read yours properly. Glad you enjoyed it one star more than me then :P

Interesting comments about Name of the Rose. I must say I don't think I'll bother reading it any time soon. Too much else higher on the list. Good to know tho.
