[Donna]

I never could spell that word....;)

[Charity]

Me too! We always turn on the reggae during dinner. Peaceful.

[Donna]

Wait, did I spell it right ???

[[deleted user]]

I don't own any reggae...not that I don't like it.

[Charity]

Yep.

[Donna]

But I love Disturbed and Ill Nino

I have manyy different moods (as I am a women LOL) and I can go from screaming-in-your-face music to opera and Mozart!

So it's whatever the day brings

[[deleted user]]

Disturbed is GREAT! Wa-a-a-a!

[Charity]

I guess I better get back to reading Choke while it's peaceful here. Laundry beckons...

[[deleted user]]

I bet Disturbed is a great band to listen to while reading Palahniuk!!

[Emma]

I think I'l give myself 20 more minutes until I go back to read the crap that is Breaking Dawn. Good luck with reading Charity!

[Donna]

I'm sure it is jeremy!!! Though naming my kid Drainman....?

[Chloe]

Fiona, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Wind-Up Bird when you finish. I read it about six months ago and am still unsure what I think about it. I think I need to read more Murakami before I can have a definitive opinion.

[Chloe]

Emma, you're hilarious. I can't believe that you put yourself through such torture every time there's a new Meyer book. You're far more dedicated than I could ever be.

[Emma]

Haha, well, knowing what books are crap is a part of being well read. And after this, I'm finished with the hell Meyer has created! Also, I've gotten all of the spoilers, so I can bulid up my fury and then scream at the book when the time comes. It's quite fun to torture myself. Really.

[Tisha]

OMg!! I just logged on before i went to bed last night...and was finally able to get through my piled up workload today and finally log on to see 197 posts! Since last night! I think thats a new record.

I missed everything...so to recap...

- I think everyone in England sounds posh.
- I've lived on the West Coast for 4 years and STILL get told I have traces of a Mid-West accent. Apparently I hold some of my Vowels (i.e. Bad, Hocky, & Costco are the things called out most)
- I eat KETCHUP on hot dogs, BBQ or Ranch on French Fries and think vinegar is gross
- Marley is a really cute kids name
- Never taken the subway.

Phew.... think I covered the gist of everything you all (y'all for some of you!) covered!

And to answer the actual thread topic... I am still reading The Book Thief!

::passing out::

[Emma]

Haha! You forgot me torturing myself. *kidding*

[Donna]

THX Tisha!! Now whoever logs on now can just go straight to you!!

And thank you!

[Donna]

let me know if it is worth reading The Book Thief because I have a huge list of books to read!

[[deleted user]]

It's gotta be worth it, Donna, this group picked it! :) (Just in case, though, I didn't vote for it.)

[Donna]

I didn't read it yet but It is in my library since I worked for the MTA Archives back when...

[Donna]

And Jeremy, that is a good point LOL

[Lori, Super Mod]

On hot dogs...chili, cheese, onions, and mustard.

Charity... hell yeah! thats the best!
BTW, i came back from running errands and this thread alone had 167 new posts... Holey Off Topic Everyone!!! I'm telling ya, you guys wait till im off line to start hitting the threads, dontcha?

[Donna]

I just requested The Book Theif from my library I will let you guys know what I think. What did everyone else think?? No Spoilers!!

[Charity]

Lori, I thought you wrote Holy Off Topic, Batman! I had to reread what you actually wrote. :-)

[Chloe]

Donna, I have to second Ken's recommendation of Mole People. I stumbled across it while shelving at Borders once and dropped everything to read it. There was also a documentary made in 2000 about the homeless in the tunnels. I think it was called Dark Days. A very interesting subject, to be sure.

[Tisha]

Donna, I will let you know what I think. If feels like no one else is reading it though because there are never updates in the 'Book Thief' threads! :(

[JT]

I am so bummed I miss the food convo!! After reading all the posts, my mouth is watering big time. Btw, I happen to CRAVE ketchup with my french fries. Sometimes, it's like eating the fries so I can have the ketchup! (twisted, I know)

[Tisha]

ohhhh...and i forgot. I LOVE philly cheesesteak sandwiches. yum.

[Sherry]

Ketchup and mayo?Only in Canada you say! Never had it and never will.

[Lori, Super Mod]

I hate ketchup.. for fries, its vinegar or cheese... nothing else...

As far as the Book of Lost Things.. I am sure if you are patient, some people are waiting till they finish to post, and others seem to not have gotten their hands on a copy yet!

[Chloe]

Book Thief, not BoLT. Easily confusable, I've done it quite a few times flipping between the discussions. I have to remind myself, "No, this one is narrated by death. The other one has a freaky Red Riding Hood." Speaking of which, the twisted fairy tales theme reminds me of the play Into The Woods. Has anyone else seen it before?

[Lori, Super Mod]

damn... I meant Book Thief, my fingers are typing whatever they want to apparently... Grrrr...

Yeah, i had forgotten about the Red Riding Hood thing... I always said it was TWISTED tho... haa haa

[Darcy]

I actually just finished Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs (which I enjoyed).

I also started Glamourama by Bret Easton. Then of course, King Lear for my summer AP Lit homework!

[Kellie]

I just finished AUDITION by Barbara Walters and absolutely loved it.
This book is loaded with history, humor, celebrity secrets and personal stuff about Barbara herself. I read a library book and preceded to purchase a copy because I want to have it in my own library.

I am currently reading THE ZOOKEEPERS WIFE by Diane Ackerman. I thought it was a fictional story about a Polish Zoo during WWII. Turns out it's a TRUE story about a Polish Zoo during WWII. So far, interesting, but easy to put down.

[alicia]

Wow 264 messages since i have been here last.Man that's alot of typing.Went to the library today and couldn't get The Book of Lost things.sigh.so I had to put my name on the request list.

[Jenna]

FINALLY finished Pillars of the Earth. It took a long time to read it because I kept putting it down and picking up something else. I did enjoy it though, even though it was an epic 900+ pages. Now I can read the books for this group...started Book of Lost Things and am liking it so far.

Ken...would the "Yum-Yum" be a doughnut????

[Jenna]

Ahhh...see I was thinking of the Yum Yum Bakeries in the Philly area. Good donuts!

Never heard of it as a Italian Ice. I was raised eating Rita's Water Ice on the streets of Philly.

[Jenna]

Yes, I am from Philly. Lived in the Northeast off of Frankford Ave for 12 years, then the family moved to Langhorne in Bucks County. Lived there until I moved to Northern VA 3 years ago. But I miss Philly!!!! But I am still standing by my Eagles! Can't wait for the season to start!

[Jenna]

I know Aramingo...I was from further up, by Holy Family College (now University). I hope we get a good season this year with the Birds. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!

[Charity]

LOGAN - Are you online?? Because I'm dying to talk to you about Choke.

[Rose Ann]

I just started Memoirs of a Geisha, and just finished The Red Leather Diary by Lily Koppel

[Donna]

I brought the Red Leather Diary but have yet to read it? What did you think Rose Ann?

[Sera]

Ken and Jenna, I am a diehard Eagles fan! Nice to find other people in the club to cheer the team on with. I heard this morning on WIP that Andrews is going to see his psychiatrist down South today. Everyone is hoping that he will be making it to camp soon. McNabb does look great, and I bet that he has a great season, since he is playing for a new contract with another team.

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!

[The Book Whisperer (aka Boof)]

Rose Ann, I envy you just starting Memoirs of a Geisha - that is in my top 5 of all time. Fantastic book.cf

[Chloe]

Charity, sorry I took last night as a chance to unplug my umbilical cord from the internet. I was starting to grow moss I'd been sitting here so long.

Hey now sports fans- we've got a thread for the likes of you.

[Sera]

Sorry, Logan - still catching up, and I haven't seen any sports posts yet.

[The Book Whisperer (aka Boof)]

I picked up a copy of the biography of Madonna written by her brother (cheaply at the supermarket) as I wanted a quick, easy, trashy read. And my god is it trashy! It's hideous but I refuse to put another book down unfinnished after yesterday. What a self-pitying, week, wimpy, name-dropping fame-seaker this man is! Bleck!

[Tisha]

that's weird then that it was written by her brother. yeck.

[Emma]

I. Am. So. Sad. I'm pathetic. I have no idea why I'm even reading Breaking Dawn now. It's the soap opera I can't look away from. It's corny, cheesy, crappy, all of the above. Yet I can't look away. I suppose I should be getting pleasure out of this tragedy that is called a book, but I'm not. It's like pulling each one of my teeth out. Yet I can't look away. It's like a drug fix. I'm ashamed of myself.

[The Book Whisperer (aka Boof)]

LOL Emma - that's how I feel about this Madonna thing. It's like a car crash - I can't stop looking.
