Our Shared Shelf discussion

I'm on chapter two

I haven't gotten it yet. I'm going to the mall with a friend this weekend, and we have a Barnes and Noble there, so I'm planning on getting it there.

Havent got it yet but will get it soon

I haven't gotten my copy yet. Headed to the library in the morning.

Currently, I'm waiting for it to be delivered.

What's this months book called?

What's this months book called?

Don't know if I'll get to this one within the month however I will still go out and get it so I have it for the future. I have approx. 100+ books on my shelves that need reading!!

Haven't gotten it yet but it's on hold for me at my local library. I'm so excited!

I'm going to the library tomorrow in hopes I can find it. If not I have a digital copy on hold.

Just finished reading the introduction!

I'm about halfway through! I've had off today and downloaded the ebook (it was cheaper) and have been devouring it on and off. It's very wonderful, and I've been taking notes and highlighting the parts I find particularly inspiring.

cant get it today but hopefully can get it before the next book comes out

almost finished. page 242 out of 305.

finished just now. Amazing choice to spend my Friday evening. Highly interesting and inspirational

chapter 3. At this rate I'll be done this weekend

Waiting for it to arrive in the mail! So excited to start it!

My life on the road, by Gloria Steinem :)

I just Downloaded and started reading

Just finished chapter 1, instantly hooked. I know what I'll be spending the rest of my night doing!

I just started reading. BTW I am amazed at the speed of some people, and please take this as a compliment. Then again, I am procrastinating and therefore feel guilty everytime I distract myself with the book.

My kindle informs me I'm 21% in :) only got the book last night but I have a hard time putting it down. Keep having moments when I'm thinking "Yes! This exactly!".

Just starting chapter 3- and pleased to find she's another non-driver. I'm finding it a very pleasant, chatty book. Journalists really seem to learn how to make something readable.

My library has lost their only copy of My Life On the Road. I am forced in to waiting for next month's book and that's if they have it.

I want to buy it to, but I am so broke it is not even funny.

I got it from one of the members here, Amal. He shared a dropbox link of the book. I will be reading it after the book I am currently reading which is Cinder.

I've read the first chapter and started on the second. It's really good. :-)

I am on page 165...I got the book yesterday and have been reading most of the day today!

I'm on chapter 2

I have a sneak peek I am able to read while waiting for my book to ship from Amazon- only read the Prelude and already hooked :-) Can't wait to officially start it!!!

I'm on Chapter 2, page 55. I just received the book in the mail, yesterday.

Only reaching half way! Still plenty of time.

MY LIBRARY IS OUT!!!!! AHHHHHH

I'm in chapter 3, but just realised I dont know the "deadline". is it the end of the month?

I've ordered it and should get it next week.

I just got my book in the mail today. I'm hoping to get 2-3 chapters read by the end of the day.

I've only gotten through the intro because I can't afford it right now so I had to squat in the bookstore and read it. At least I was until I started feeling self conscious and left. Hoping the library copy becomes available soon enough that I can really take part in the conversations!

In just got it and I'm on chapter two !

Can someone remind me when we're supposed to have it finished?

I think we're supposed to have it read by the end of Jan.

I'm on chapter 5. I've been listening to it on audible. Every book I listen to on there I have to buy it so I can then write notes in the margins and highlight passages. Haha! Waiting for my hard copy to arrive. ;)

It said somewhere that the hope would be the book would be discussed the last week of the month...so I'm guessing we have at least another week before the discussion questions? I should hopefully get mine tomorrow or Saturday :-)

I only started today but the Prelude (all what, 6 pages of it?) took me about an hour and a half to read due to my rampant curiosity causing me to continually stop and google the below before proceeding:
- Badlands
- Sturgis
- Photos taken from outer space
- Native American horse painting symbols & meaning
- Alice Walker
- Black Hills
- Lakota Warriors
- Crazy Horse
- The Crazy Horse Memorial
- The expected completion date of the Crazy Horse Memorial (unknown)
- The commencement date of the Crazy Horse Memorial (1948)
- How long Mount Rushmore took to carve (14 years)

I'm always fascinated with other people's lives and travels so looking forward to reading the rest of it.

I am so in love with this book! Started it last night and I'm about halfway through it already! I need to slow down, but then again maybe I can reread it before discussion time ;)

I'm starting it next week :)

I will read it now, but .pdf because I can't buy it. I'll try my best to understand. English isn't my first language so... I don't know, let's see how it goes.

I just bought it today! Excited to get started

I don't have mine yet, I'm waiting until my exams finish then I'm going to treat myself to a browse round the bookshop to celebrate and pick it up then. Just a few more days to get through first!

Good luck with your exams, Elinor!

I just started reading yesterday and I am on 23%! I think I am progressing a little slow - I take notes and highlight nice parts on my Kindle but this way it feels like I am actually living the book.

I found her life experiences, especially with her family and her father, quite similar to mine. So, the book also helps with my self-exploration in an inexplicably weird, but at the same time sincere, way. There are tons of other points I'd like to talk about but I guess I will need to start new threads for those, so that we can all discuss them thoroughly.

I am on chapter 3!!
