ANA Book Club?

[MaryBKAriz]

Hi,

Just wanted to say I thought the book was very good. It REALLY makes me appreciate living in this country. I found it amazing the author was able to portray the emotons of the women so well. What did others think about the story going between the 2 women. At the beginning I was wondering but I thought they laced together so well and believably.

Haven't even cracked open the book - just didn't have time.

Since the full moon is tomorrow and you guys are starting the discussion, I guess I'll just sit this one out.

I'll be back for the next book though, since I really enjoy this thread.

You can sit with me nodding head and saying hmmmmmmmmmmmm very interesting  ... I didn't get
the book til Wednesday and planned on starting it yesterday and reading like crazy... but after a lousy week of
headaches and just feeling bad , I only stumbled through about about 2 dozen pages...
still gonna finish it but not by morning

[JulieE]

I am into it - but unless the stars align with the full moon...I'm not going to finish it by tomorrow.  I'll wait it out to and discuss with Soundy and Jan:  Sorry to here you guys are having a tough time of it but keep reading and PM me when your finished!

Any possibility of holding off on discussion for another week?

I know a lot of you have finished long ago, but I think I could read the book in a week.

If you don't want to wait, I totally understand.

I actually got if from the library & got it finished but since I am out of town & using my iPhone to write this, I am ALL for waiting for the others...

Fine with me to wait til you guys finish - it is SO good I hate for you to miss out...Steve, are you reading it?  Haven't heard from you here lately...

And, Mary, how ARE YOU DOING?  How's the dizziness?  Been thinking of you.

Soundy, sorry to hear of your headaches - hope you're feeling better.

Ok, back to Book Club business...

Cindy

[Soundy]

I took the day off yesterday to read , only getting up to feed hungry people and to switch clothes from
washer to dryer... only about 50 pages to go ... my eyeballs got tired

[Debbi]

I'm totally okay holding off until everyone is finished.  It is too good of a book to give it short shrift! 

And, can I just say that I continue to be so very glad to have born in the Western world!  I don't think I'm a burka kind of gal.... (although there are times when I wouldn't mind hiding my face behind one...)   

So, next Sunday?

Debbi - dissing the burka...

[sgerrard]

Steve, are you reading it?  Haven't heard from you here lately...

I'm not finished either, I've been Olympic-ing (go Dara Torre)

Here is an updated list of suggested books, including the cook book:

1. Black Wave, John and Jean Silverwood (Dana).
2. Just One Look, Harlan Coben (Jan).
3. Tailspin, Catherine Coulter (Kaybo).
4. The Shack, William P.Young (Kaybo/Soundy)
5. First Person Plural, Dr. Cameron West (Debbi)
6. Playing for Pizza, John Grisham (Debbi/Yardtick)
7. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Mark Hadden (MaryBKAriz)
8. The Bookseller of Kabul, Asne Seierstad (Debbi)
9. Molto Italiano, Mario Batali (JulieE)

Maybe we can discuss what to read next, while we finish Suns?

Steve

[leapyrtwins]

So, Steve, it sounds like we've been given special dispensation (ala the Catholic church) to start discussion on Suns next Sunday? 

Jan

[Debbi]

In terms of next book - I'd vote for the Black Wave.  It sounds really interesting (and I already picked up a copy through Amazon).

And, I'll tune in Sunday for the discussion on Suns.

Debbi

[cindyj]

Any of the books will be fine w/ me...welll, now I say that, but are they all fiction?  If not, I'd vote for any of the fiction ones   If you guys want non-fiction, that's ok, I have plenty I can read and would just catch you for the next one!  (I'm deep into another book about Cleopatra right now...)

See you Sunday for Suns.

Hello All~
As I was on the plane a few hours ago, I was thinking about posting to see if we could pick the next book as I have a coupon and need to use it before it expires!  As long as it is fiction, I'm in!  Is it Black Wave??

K

[Debbi]

Black Wave is non-fiction.  I think Dana recommended it and it sounded interesting.  But, I'm up for whatever everyone decides - I'm an avid reader and will devour just about anything...

[Soundy]

Sunday is good for me ... anything for the next read is good too...

I have several books I am pre-reading for 8th grade that I am trying to get through... been
doing that since shortly before surgery and it is OK...pays with free copies of books my girls can read
in a couple years ...a few they can read now ... but it is nice to read adult books and discuss them
with adults...
