book clun swap

700 fabulous pages though!

I agree the last one was definitely the best of the set

700 pages! What is it Wolf Hall or The Long Road Home????

Dinky, I cried when I finished the last one knowing that there would be no more! But lots of people think it is absolutely the worst book ever.

I move to ban musttidyup from the clun for sending a 700-page tome.

Blimey Swampster - that sounds like quite some tome you're reading??? You have till end of November to finish it and send on - but you can always arrange a longer sending period with your sendee if you like and they are willing as we're not sending on after that again till 25 January. Have you enjoyed the first 5million pages?

I had Swampy's book this time round - have read it before but stands up to a re-read. I still feel its the weakest one of the series, lots of expositionary work I think which comes into its own later, and some bits make rather uncomfortable reading (especially for the vivid of imagination) but its an interesting idea for a book and on the whole well executed.

Hahahahaahahah [hysterical laughter] I still have several hundred pages to plough through.

Wotcha fellow clun members - just a reminder TOMORROW is the day to report in on your book you've read. Then you all send the book on to your sendee by the end of the month.

As 25 December appears to be a fairly busy day for some reason for most of the western hemisphere I have made an executive decision as fat controller of the clun that we will have until 25 January to read the book sent on to us this time round. Hopefully will give even the most dedicated xmas party fiend time to read the book by the our merry clun carousel spins round again.

I'm nearly done with the book I'm reading - can't recall whose it is off the top of my head, also enjoying!

Oh yay, that makes me happy. As a rational adult i know we don't all have the same tastes, but still...

I have finished Kiwijester's book and really really enjoyed it. Thanks Kiwi.

Tilly - how funny that the film was on last night! I too adore John Cusack but agree the book is tonnes better.

rufus, I loved dinky's book, I took it on holiday with me & dh was moaning that I was constantly reading it!! The film of it was on last night, but imo it doesn't really translate well to film (despite the lovely John Cusack being in it!!)

Have started my book, quite gripping so far.

And I think I may have an idea of what Musttidyup's book is!!

Glad it's got to you ok, Kiwi!
I received my book, DinkyStinky's, the other day - it's one I've been meaning to read for a long time, so looking forward to starting it, and will do so today!!

Got my book thanks Rufus, and its by a Kiwi! and it's been on my to read list for a while so even better!

Afternoons, I agree that some of the middle was a bit dull but I am going to read the other 2 in the trilogy as I need to know what happens!

FINALLY posted! Sorry, ESP.

Hmm i really struggled with it acsec! I really enjoyed it to start with, got about halfway through and found it really dragged. Got better towards the end again though, so Im glad I stuck with it but, tbh, it could be half the size and still be a fantastic book! IMO of course!

I'm halfway through my book, it's very funny!

Swampy, is it Musttidyup's book you've got? It's really good, start it and you'll whizz through it!

Yeah, sorry for the delay in posting, Swampy. It took me a while to get through that one!

I've got my book now - it is soooooooo HUGE I'm too afraid to open it. I still have to locate my post office so I can send the one I just finished off.

Hope the move went smoothly Piebald and you've got your book now. Just checking everyone has their books now - if you dont shout and PM the person that's meant to be sending to you.

Ooh ooh i have been so busy moving and having no internet that i not only forgot the book clun i forgot about mumsnetoh well back now. ESP can i have another bookjust use the same address it will get to me, Thanks

I've not got my book yet but I'm sure Rufus is on to it! I'm also a quick reader so not stressed yet.

Just checking everyone has received the book they're meant to this time round (or posted it by now).

Have received Swampy's book I think - have read it previously so this month I am interspersing reading it with my birthday present from my DH, the new PD James set at Pemberley -is making for a most amusing compare and contrast

Does anyone have the DVD of kiwi's book? I'm really enjoying it and will want to see the DVD after but won't buy if I can shamelessly borrow from someone else......

Big apologies for not posting my book yet, have got it all packaged and ready to go but the week has run away with me. Will get it in the post box tomorro, sorry
