Elena's comments from the Gather Yourselves Together group.

I remember I came up as an artisian, which is pretty accurate. What I remember most about studying this kind of personality tests, is to learn how to motivate the different kinds of personalities.

I am sorry I am not reading anything for the group right now. I picked up the first of a five book series (The Banned and the Banished, by James Clemens) and I am hooked on them now. I do have Our Mutual Friend, and Mary and O'Neil for next month readings.

I don't see the chat section for this month selection.

Please Understand Me II Temperament, Character, Intelligence looks like the exercises we go through at the management seminars at my job. I have had enough of those....

I am going to pass on this one as this was a book I could not finished. I had read Neverwhere A Novel and love it, but I couldn't get into this one. I will be reading your comments though to see what you all think about it.

It was a mystery for me, well maybe a melodramatic mystery :)

Yes, I too was looking forward to finding Akira again in the story and was hoping for a happy reunion.

I finished the book. I like it better than An Artist of the Floating World, good story, but still there is something about the author style that I don't like. Walker has put it in words for me. Unreliable narrator. It is like he looses track of this thought. The episode with Morgan is an excellent example. What was that all about?

The episode towards the end where the lieutenant leaves his post in the middle of the war also bothered me. Banks acted, and was treated like he was something bigger than a famous foreign detective. I didn't get it.

And Jennifer... it seems she was on the story just for the sake of adding another orphan character. Anybody sees it different?

Hi, I just joined the group as I see you are reading Ishiguro this month. I read An Artist of the Floating World a couple of months ago and have mix feelings as to whether I liked it or not...if that makes sense. Anyway, I want to give him another try since he intrigues me. I'll be reading the book later this month and look forward to the discutssion
