Hello Ben.
It's impossible to not like Doyle, no matter who you are, I've determined.

Oh dear, this didn't get sent to my e-mail apparantly. Yes it would. Sorry for ignoring it until I was forum-surfing.

Hello, hello, hello. Welcome everybody.

Lately I've not been sure if I'm bored with the book, or just easily distracted. Good luck keeping it up. A page at a time will still get you there.

Considering the size of this book club, we are practically neighbors, being three hours away!
Consider yourself kicked, if you wish.

Hello Monica
There are always a few that seem to slip through the cracks, or at least it seems so to me.

One of the best parts of us covering classics is at least one in three books is available for free. Although, I did not like all of the narrators for Librivox. Some were good, but one in particular was so droning I tuned out before she even finished a sentence.

This folder is officially ready for action.
How are you going about reading this month's book?

Hello, Nicole.

Is it sad that I've never read a Dean Koontz book??

If you didn't get ten people yet, I think I can fit this in now. I got ahead of my goals for once!!! The book seemed interesting when I first read the summary. It actually made me do a mini-search about her because I did not remember anything about her existence, sadly.

Karena, I just realized that you started this thread, and yet you've not shared your blog on it. Tsk, tsk.

Beth wrote: "Not complaining at all. Just pointing out that mentioning the name of a book is helpful. I wasn't even thinking about the thread name, just posts within a thread."

I see what you mean, I think. I don't think I have the same settings as you thought, so the layout might be slightly different.

It can get ridiculous. You should have seen me trying to get anything after than "Tess of the' in any title. After the third attempt I just started using twitter to count the characters.

Grab an epic read like "Middlemarch" or "Moby Dick" to slow you down. :)
