Book/reading club

[popsycal]

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>?

Thanks FF.

Ordered through Amazon but actually went for a "Like New" used copy. Not sure how it works or what'll be like when it arrives. Just hope it gets her on time. May be doing some super fast reading!!!

mean't to say when i got it from waterstones i also got a book of money off vochers for the comming months

I got those voucher too when I got DH something. They last right into the new year by the looks of it too.

If anyone wants me to send them the book by first class post i will

I've read yaya but I'd love to join you and read it again (if I can find it) - I'm sure there'll be lots to discuss. I agree popsycal, Owen Meany is a great book

oooh - my book got delivered today!!!
along with another one whouc i liked the look of....

oooh
just found the website for our book
this is a reading guide to it with discussion topics...
havent looked at it properly yet incase it gives away the story...
can someone who has read it already have a look???

that doesnt work
try this ??

is it just me....
or do these topics for discussion seem rather high brow???

i love a good discussion and remember a level english and degree subsiduory english with fondness....
maybe my post-ds brain caused all this to be mashed out of me

and i cant spell = subsidurary english???
oh i dont know how you spell it
stupid word anyway...

anyone else reading yet??
i started it last night but am really struglling to get into it.......
i have 'i know this much is true' (mentioned earlier down this thread) here aswell and am really tempted to read ythat instead....someone stop me please....

Oh those topics are a bit too intellectual for me. I was hoping for "its a good isn't it? Discuss".

me too bekki!!!!!!
my brain has gone backwards since having ds!!!
i am finding it hard to get into at the moment though......

I must go and try to get this in Waterstones at lunchtime - thought the discussion topics sounded brilliant - it would be nice to make my brain work for a change.

Can I join in too? I will nip out after lunch and get the book - it is too long since I hae read a proper book (fanatsy novels and Maeve Binchy don't count, really....)

Twinkie - it's weird (if that's what you were talking about?) I only found out recently - have been spelling it wrong all my life

Got it!!

So it's first four chapters on 29 December, is that right?

Hm, apparently I won't get it today, as the shop doesn't have it. And I'm not going into town this side of Christmas, so I reckon it is going to be an after Christmas Amazon delivery. REckon I won't have read it by the 29th, in that case (if I even HAVE it by the 29th) but I will catch up later.

I bought A Prayer for Thingummybob, instead. Will read that until the Ya Ya one arrives.

thats corrext

Excellent. Now I just need to find my brain - I'm sure it was here somewhere ...

I'm a bit more awake now. Those topics are fine and I'm sure will make more sense when I start reading the book tonight.
If this thread has banned spelling mistakes then count me out, I missed out an entire word in my last message!
I've just finished The Red Tent, every mother should read it, its a fantastic book.

Apparently my book will arrive on the 29th - so unless my baby sleeps all morning, allowing me to read the chapters then, I will just have to catch up for the next batch.
