What book did you just start?

On Chapter 7 and loving it so far. It's a unique story and the writing is excellent. Hopefully, the strong start will continue.

I read it a couple of weeks ago....



I've been eyeing that book to read maybe. I'll be interested to see if you like it.







If you like


I read that several years ago, and although the first few chapters *are rather bizarre, I really loved the book by the time I'd finished. Hope you do too!

Thanks for letting me know. I was on the verge of giving up on it but I'll keep going.

Oh boy, the pressure! Now I have to hope you like it or I'll feel like I talked you into sticking with a book you disliked :-(


Great pick, Betsy - it's long but very engaging.


Laurie, what do you think so far? I'm almost finished with it on audio and I am really enjoying it, at times, even loving it.




As a long time consistent financial backer of my library due to fines, I evaluate how eager am I to read the book, how many people are in line for the book, and the morality of keeping someone waiting to decide if I will afford the dime-a-day fine to keep a library book past its time.

I empathize, Victoria, 4 books on my hold list just came in this week, too. I can't see where I am in line on the list so I can't manage my holds and I don't like to be without an audio book to listen to in my car (2 out of the 4 were audio books).

I really like the story -- I think I'm going to reread Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby as a follow-up -- it's been a LONG time since I read Gatsby, and I want to compare themes.

Oh what a great idea! I read TGG in college and didn't like it. I've been thinking that it warrants a re-read, and now you've given me another reason. I'm thinking maybe late Spring.

I think that it's one of those books that will stand the test of time. I absolutely loved it.
