Kaseadillla’s comments from the EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club group.

second cloud atlas!

i second wizard of earthsea

I loved these books. There were times when I felt it was slow, but .... maybe it was the writing, or the world-building, but something about these books just felt so real.

I hope you all enjoy this! I think the commentary on media is extremely relevant today.

thanks, Mariana!!

Gosh I love this line:
"I am wasting my words. Girls are incurable on the subject of marriage, and all that we wise men can say will not prevent the waistcoat-makers and the shoe-stitchers from dreaming of husbands studded with diamonds. Well, so be it; but, my beauties, remember this, you eat too much sugar."

blaming Fontane (and women really) for dreaming and deceiving themselves [and in this case, dreaming of marriage] as opposed to men being deceiptful.

just starting this. my ALL TIME FAVORITE MUSICAL. excited to read the inspiration

I thought Neeley was the LEAST convincing, seemed underdeveloped, but then I guess it's probably because Francie's relationship with Neeley was pretty straightforward throughout the book whereas we got to know Katie and Johnny's relationship separately AND with Francie, so maybe that's why they felt more real?
Agree, reading this after sitting in my house for the past month.... maybe I was craving action and it just wasn't there.

I agree I didn't find it too sad.

Not one of my favorites, but can appreciate any book that is well written enough to keep me engaged when, at least in my opinion, not much happened? It was a realistic account of the times, and I enjoyed living there for a while.

bakc in the day we had themed months, and the theme one month was "nonfiction". The only problem was finding enough "classic" nonfiction books (aka published pre-1970) that ppl were interested in, but would entertain this again?

Just started it! Beautiful writing thus far... has kept my interest despite nothing really happening yet....

oOHOH may join for Far From the Madding Crowd as well, on my long list.

Hey all,

In response to feedback we have gotten, we are trying something new with the BOTM nominations. For now, we've added a new guideline to please only nominate 1 book per category, so three books total. We are hoping this leads to more concentrated, less diluted nominations per member feedback.

Thanks!
Kasey
