Yup!

A bit "confused" - in the sense that it doesn't really follow a strict line, but this can be more a quality than a defect.
For further considerations in a day or two ..."

I agree with you there, Laura

Just started it and it's very interesting so far!

I'll start reading it sometime next week, hopefully :)

Welcome, Elizabeth! Glad to have you here:)

Thanks Heather! It's really entertaining and thought-provoking.

Hello Jackie,

Welcome to the group! I hope you enjoy your time here and that you have some time to frequent the non-fiction forum as well:)

You're welcome, Jean. It was truly sincere. So glad to have you here:)

Aww, you're definitely not a troublemaker, Jean! You're one of the kindest, most supportive people we have in this group. Hope you don't feel too bad :)

What's the Open Library, Laura? Is it an online library?

Discuss our December/January group read 'I'd Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had: My Year as a Rookie Teacher at Northeast High' by Tony Danza here.

Happy reading!

Looks great, Amber! I really like Tony Danza.

Jenny and I discussed it and we decided on selecting two just so people have a choice of what they want to read. Also, it can sometimes be hard to find certain books so we wanted people to have more than one option.

Discuss our December/January group read 'A History of Reading' by Alberto Manguel here.

Happy reading!

New members are causing problems, Jenny?

Great nominations so far!

I have, Gill. I read the Signet Classic edition, translated by Lloyd C. Parks
