TypoC book club?

[prplchknz]

the book is out for delivery so I should get it today. Woohoo.

 

[Laurie]

I decided to go cheap and order it regular shipping instead of prime and its taking foreverz to get here. I have the audio I got from the library site but it's hard to always do audio.

 

[prplchknz]

if you have an .edu email you can get prime free for a year.

It reads very nicely the second time around when you don't have to exert yourself to piece things together. I'm a lazy reader.

[Laurie]

Whoa hey really? I think I still have an edu email from graduating from college all those many years ago.

Can the amazon student thing be used in other countries? Like say, Canada?

The book is starting to make sense.

Hmm my Kindle says I'm 4% in the book. I don't know what page that corresponds to..but they're still interviewing Quin. I really got into the story when the narrator talked about melancholy. It was a sentence but it struck a chord. I actually looked up, took a deep breath, smiled at a random person on the subway and went back to reading.

That's a nice story. I think you're about the same place I am.

I've just finished re-reading through part 4 (I love snow days). FYI, it kicks into gear *after* this. Well, the conflict is setup anyway.

I do like being read aloud to. And playing characters is fun, but that'd be better for a play than a novel.

I want to savagely end reading as a solitary activity and make it a shared experience.

I don't want to talk about a book, or anything else, I want to experience it now in company. In short, I want to read aloud to you and with you and in you. By you and with you and in you, becomes a sacred experience. We are now longer at a distance from what we read, we are what we read, and we are what we read together. And what we read, transforms us; we are transubstantiated by the spoken word. Just as the spoken word transubstantiates the bread into the body, the spoken word transubstantiates the word into our living flesh.

Who could possibly want to go back to dispassionate reading of the solitary text when we can ride the waves of emotion beating through the global village?

C'mon, here you are talking with us in the global village and denying it at the same time. If you keep this up, and the wind changes, you will be cross-eyed forever.

 

[Mole]

*also raises hand*

Good God, we have a cyclone bearing down upon us and half-through the wind changes, and if you are still in denial, you will also be cross-eyed forever.
