Book suggestions...

Until Nicole OK's me as a friend on Goodreads (which I just requested, so unless Nicole is constantly monitoring the Goodreads page, she hasn't seen it yet), I'm putting book suggestions here.
  • Islands in the Stream by Ernest Hemingway
  • Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
  • The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
  • Back When We Were Grownups by Anne Tyler

Damn board meeting!

Unfortunately, I have a School of Informatics Alumni Association board meeting this evening, which means I can't make the Cheese Drip Factory. I suggested the book and everything. Oh how I wanted to discuss asparagus-flavored pee! Let me know tomorrow what this month's book choice is.

Goodreads Group

I created a group for us on Goodreads. If you're not already on there, signing up is easy! It's a great way to keep track of books you and your friends are reading, have read, and want to read. Feel free to add books to the group bookshelf for ideas of what to read next!

Meeting Stuff-o-rama

Yep, it's almost that time again!

Time to meet and discuss the love triangle of Fermina Daza and her two men...

I have to admit, after frustratingly turning pages, my opinion of the book is:

You'll just have to find out at the meeting!

La Charreada (um, I think I've misspelled it) aka Cheese Drip Factory

The only thing I've forgotten - who picked this one?

In any case, bring some questions, comments and anything else you'd like to share along with another book. For July, make it a short and fast read!

All hot and sweaty

I have to confess that I got an extremely late start with this book. I'm only about halfway through and have just now gotten 'bitten' by it. At first, I had to force myself to pick it up, but I now look forward to late night reading time. I should finish it within the next few days.

When is the meeting again? Have I missed it? Where am I? What's my name? Someone help me here.

Love? in the time of Cholera??

I was reading the book last night and got so angry with what was happening that I almost slammed the book shut and threw it across the room. (I won't say what was happening in case anyone hasn't reached that point yet.) I just have to say that this is one messed up "love" story! I stuck it out to see if things would change but was disappointed by the results. I have about 100 pages left and am interested to see how it ends.
