Would anyone like to be part of a reading group?
I need something to encourage me to read more regularly - i absolutely love to read but seem to have put it on the back burner recently....
want to get back to enjoying it again
I anyone is interested, we could agree on a book (easier said than done, I suspect!)
read it then discuss....
hmmmmmmm
anyone>?

Mine still hasn't arrived.
But meanwhile I am really getting into The Red Tent. I've got Owen Meany, but haven't started yet.

Sorry I was with reli's for xmas this year and havent had a minute to myself to buy it let alone read it! In hindsight was not an ideal time for me to do this so big apologies popsycal didnt realise how much I would be running after my little one. Will definitely join in on the next as the busy times are now over! Hope everyone had a great xmas.

Do you think more time will help, or do you think it is the wrong book?
Dinosaur seems to be really enjoying it. Is anyone else having sucess with it? Still waiting for mine so I'm no real help.

Let's go for more time then, plus I will hopefully be able to join you. The Red Tent is good, I second that we read this one next. i'll have to read it again by then.

I DON'T BLO@DY BELEIVE IT!! (Wish i could use a bigger font)
Having waited ages for this book to arrive I've just found a copy in my tip of a bedroom. I spend too much time on Mn and reading to have a tidy bedroom. DH has just said that he feels he has seen this book lying around somewhere so I went in search of it.
So am I to read it? How much? When by?
What about my tent tho'. I'll have to read the two together. LOL

fairydust · 29/12/2003 16:01

nice one mummysurfer that's my trick find it on the bedroom floor
