STOP!

Please stop reading that book! I thought I would never have to do this, but I'm changing our book. Please stop reading Snow and pick up Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides.
This bring me to an interesting topic on how books pick their readers, which I may elaborate at our meeting. I was really excited to read this book, it sounded great. But as started it, I just couldn't get into it. I found the aspect of the suicide girls interesting, but the political views it was influenced by is not my forte.

So, I move on Middlesex. I apologize if this inconveniences anyone.
If you want, if you're really enjoying Snow, then you can continue with it and we can compare and contrast it to Middlesex. That should be interesting. Let me know.

I still haven't picked a date. I gotta look at that school calendar, make sure everyone can come.
Hope you enjoy the new book.

Ahh!!

Ok, I've been slacking. I admit it. Calm down.
So to make up for it, I'm going to make this very long.
Water For Elephants was an amazing book, one of the best I've chosen for us to read. And again, I'm sorry most of you didn't get the chance to share the reading experience with me. My promotional skills have weakened significantly. But to those of you who read it, thank you and I hoped you liked it as much as I did. And to Emily Davis, thank you for joining me at Borders that Saturday. I do believe we had a nice discussion, just the two of us.

So, as for the next novel. Once again, I am embarking on another busy time in my laugh. However, this time, I'm not going to let it get in the way of this book club. So! You guys are gonna help me! Ready? We are reading Snow by Orhan Pamuk. It is one the more difficult books I've ever chosen to read. It's more on the political side of things, kind of Marxist. But I'm intrigued by it at the same time. It should be interesting. And knowing you guys are behind me on this will only keep me more motivated to read it! Yay!

Ok, well happy reading.
I'll try to keep in better touch.
