Let's start discussing The Gathering by Anne Enright on the 15th, here:
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2728...
Unfortunately, I won't be able to help as I'm forcefully incapable of reading The Gathering (after trying it when it first got the Booker), but I do hope you're okay, Ruth, or will feel better soon. Your message worries me.
I attempted to read The Gathering but had to stop and walk away from it. I will decide in the next couple of days if I will continue the attempt or not.
My goodness! This is the least auspicious set of initial comments concerning a selection since those relating to the one I nominated.
I like it so far. But then I like just about everything I read. Maybe there's still time for me to dislike it.
Yikes! I just started reading it and now I'm terrified! Guess I'll have to wait for the discussion to find out what people disliked so much.
I must admit I first read this book last January and hated it; well, that might be a little strong, but really did not enjoy it. I decided I'd give it another go before the discussion here, though, so I could be better prepared and this time I loved it. I haven't a clue why the difference, but I'm looking forward to the discussion, as always.
I got this book from the library last week and have been having trouble getting through it. Not because I dislike it, but I am really not in a dark humor mood right now. I was just starting to wonder why I was so bent on finishing the thing when I remembered what today was and to check what book was this month's pick for CR. Hello! LOL So that's why I'm reading this book...I got more than I bargained for when I started using GR. ^^; I'll try to finish it tonight.

Abigail, that's a perfect description of how many of us felt shortly after encountering Constant Reader all those years ago -- and it became exponentially more so when Constant Reader settled into our new digs on Goodreads over a year ago -- so we know exactly what you mean! The discussion will be here waiting so read fast but don't stay up all night;)!
I am still reading it. I have not read any of the discussion to avoid spoilers, but I am just worried that I will arrive too late at the party. I will try to finish it in the next day or two...
