I'd love to have a group of people with which to read Jorge Amado's Tent of Miracles. Anyone interested?

I would definitely be interested. I am currently taking portuguese, so it would fit right in!
Great. Let's wait another week or so to see if anyone else is interested.
Hey Nicole, i've just joined the group, but sounds great.....i've done some portuguese as well, and would love to read more in that language.....
I've started with it today (somehow i really managed to finish my last book yesterday evening, yay!!!!) and i'm really looking forward to discussing this with you.......not much to say yet, as i just had some minutes on the bus, but hopefully soon more.....
My apologies to the group. I read half the first chapter 2 weeks ago and couldn't get into it. Maybe it's the season. I will try it again after the holidays.
Never mind, Linda, i've got some trouble getting into it as well.......now i'm on holiday in berlin and have started something else in between, and i'm not yet sure if i will get back to amado's book very soon........i think i was about 130 pages into the book when i forgot it back home and i was still waiting for the story to start......the threads of the story seemd really disattached from each other and while i quite liked some parts, others bored me to death....well, but i'll give it another try as well.....Nicole, have you already read it completely? and did you like it? (let me know if it's worth putting more effort into it.....:-)
Julia, I got sidetracked as well. I'm going to try again when I am finished with Death With Interruptions. :-)
Sounds like we all had the same problem. It may be a "must read", but I am afraid there is so much more that I may not get back to it for a long time.
