Talk Healthy

We're supposed to have a discussion on it next week...

I loved the book. I think I'm going to re-read it. If someone like that can end up normal - there's hope for me!

At home: I'm still working my way through Les Miserables, I started a mystery novel last night, and I've got NOW: Discover Your Strengths in the TBR pile.

At work I have "Moving Mars" and "No Logo."

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou *The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck Harry Potter (Series) by J.K. Rowling Forever by Judy Blume The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger The color Purple by Alice Walker *A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'E...

I'm reading A Girl Named Zippy

It's awesome!

I know this isn't on the book club list - but enough of us have read it - we should have a discussion!

The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
Deadly Decisions by Kathy Reichs
No Logo by Naomi Klein

I'm also still working on Les Miserables...

We will read and discuss by November 7, 2005....

Okay guys - I read this a while ago, so I'm going to come up with a few questions off the top of my head - but those of you who read it more recently, please add! What was your overall impression of the book? Did you like it? What was your favorite story? Where do you think David Sedaris' humor come...

I read it before it was an Oprah book and found it absolutely gripping!

I'm about halfway through the Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night - I really like it. I'm about 60 pages into the Time Traverl's Wife. Sometimes it is hard to wrap my brain around the storyline - but overall, it seems really good. I'm still working on Les Miserable. Slow by Slow. There was an e...

Thanks for the tip! I'll change it...

I'll put it on the list!

Nope - I got the title wrong!

Marie - I still have your Reading Lolita in Tehran. Should I pass it on to someone else or send it back to you once you move?

LB, I'm emailing you.

Crystal:

It's good to have you back on the board!

Does anybody have these and want to lend them too me?

I'm going to add a few myself after visiting the bookstore yesterday:

The Wind Up Bird
Interpreter of Maladies
Diary
Confessions of Max Tivoli
Drop City
The Drowning Tree
The Little Friend

Have you read Me Talk Pretty One Day or Naked? Those were better IMO. But I liked this one too.

Exactly! I really like it, and I'm determined to finish it. But it's not one of those books you can read straght through.

It's a very quick read!

NOW READ IT!!!
