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.
Um... I like you, but I'm not comfortable with that....In short, I want to read aloud to you and with you and in you.
Hahahaha, that's awesome! (Although I did enjoy the Twilight books.... well, the first one, anyway. After that they rapidly deteriorated.)
That sounds interesting! And I love your rating system!i haven't started this month's book yet. i have just finished the surgeon of crowthorne by simon winchester. it's a snappy historical work based on the true story of two men who worked on the original oxford english dictionary. one of them, dr william minor was a murderer locked up in an insane asylum. he wrote his contributions to the dictionary at the asylum. woven into the story are some interesting vignettes about the history of dictionaries/etymology. i also enjoyed reading the descriptions of treatment received by the criminally insane in the late 18th/early 19th centuries. i give it three strawberries.

But...but...THATS IT. YOURE OUT OF THE BOOK CLUB!!! GET OUT NOW.
(Even if you were the one who started it........)
That's a nice story. I think you're about the same place I am.
I think they heard me complaining! It finally became available and I picked it up at the library on my way home from work. Got through a whopping 12 pages on the bus ride home - but I like it so far. It's not nearly as dry as it sounded (maybe I haven't gotten to those parts yet). I like the made-up words.Still waiting to get my copy.
The stupid library still lists (for over a week now) 12/20 copies supposedly on the shelves at various branches, despite them not sending any of them to me. Finally went to one of the listed branches and of course it wasn't actually on the shelf. So I don't know what's up with their inventory system (there are only 2 holds on it total). They are usually much faster.
Yes, of course!Sounds like fun, can I crash the book party?
Anathem, by Neal StephensonWhat book are you guy snow reading???
Cool! I'm hoping to get some more reading done on it this weekend.It's getting really interesting; just past the Warden of Heaven hilarity.
