Laurel’s Comments (group member since Aug 06, 2013)

Laurel’s comments from the I Read Therefore I Am group.

I've been putting off starting this as remember being a bit bored by it the first time round, but it's ok so far - will see how we go!

Ok I don't think we use this thread enough so I'm going to have a little reminisce about T in the Park festival and share Paloma Faith singing Picking up the Pieces:

Crazy isn't it? I don't get some people's mindset - it's not like you can take it with you.

Thanks! Lol Lee - how did you know they were my fav kind of customers? Ideally a coffee shop full of gorgeous blokes and not a screaming kid in sight!

What's Borgen about?? Any good?

I've just finished watching the Firefly boxed set for the 3rd time and then discovered The Walking Dead on Lovefilm - have watched a couple of episodes and really enjoying it so far! Did anyone else watch it?

Ok wish me luck guys- have got a job interview tomorrow for a coffee shop which I'm hoping is going to be better hours than the restaurant!

Hope you enjoy The Woman in White Joy (when the puppy lets you)- I loved it!

I've just finished a book by Alice Munro which had some good stories in:Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories and now I'm trying to get a bit of Mason and Dixon read, and also reading Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher.

Oh dear, I think I'm just a bit lost off, am planning to read a bit more today and see if it starts making sense (as much as it ever does) again.

Hi Angela, welcome to the group!

I'm two chapters in to Part Two.... and not a lot has happened. But at least I have got back to it and hopefully once I read a bit more I will get back into it. LETS DO THIS!!!!

LOL!!!!!!

We will all agree on that at least ;)

Ok now I get it - Thanks guys;)

Must just be me then - something about the writing really jarred but it could have been the translation. Glad you enjoyed it anyway, I liked the idea, it was funny, I just kept getting put off the story by the writing.

The Snow Child and The Orphan Master's Son were good, and The Fault in our Stars was ok but I really don't get the enthusiasm for The Hundred Year Old Man who climbed out of a Window an Disappeared - that was either really badly written or really badly translated!

His Lady, and 'my Lord', are his boss and boss's wife - they are Lord and Lady somebody or other I think but I forget who; he usually just refers to Mrs Pepys as 'my wife' I think - it threw me at first too!

Don't worry Tracey - I'm not really sure what it means either - I loved the images and the words though ;)

oops! We believe you Lee :S

Well we could probably just use the 2nd half thread - I'm just about to start part 2 (I read part one all at once then put it down to read other stuff and didn't get back to it yet so am going to start once I finish Let the Right One In which is almost done).

@ Hilary - I want to keep going for a bit cos I was actually enjoying it before I put it to one side - will see how part two goes.
