How about we read "Friday Night Knitting Club", and continue discussing 13th Tale in the meantime?

Works for me, if it works for the others.  Do you know if Kate's in or out this time around?  And any word on OMG?an



I am in on this one! Is Friday Night Knitting Club the book?

July 14th works for me, and Friday Night Knitting Club it is.

Being a seasoned knitting professional, I feel that I have an unfair advantage, so I will try to read the book slowly, as if I knew nothing at all about knitting.  ;)

I have e-mailed 16 and I called her today and just got the machine -- I must say I am getting a bit worried...However, I know that they have land in the forest and a trailer and spend most weekends there when everything is OK so maybe they had just already left for the weekend (of course witht the time change, that probably isn't the case...)  I'll let you know if I hear something...

Kate-
Glad you are back with us - you missed out on a good one, though!

Kate -

like K said, I'm glad your "in" and if you get a chance, you should read the 13th Tale - very  good book  ;D


K -

I was wondering about OMG myself.  The AN Calendar says she was having surgery on the 18th.  Hope she's doing okay and will update us soon.

had to take my son to Huntsville Alabama last Thursday... Barnes and Nobles is moving ... big sale going on
with all books discounted ... they had  tons of books at 50% off already reduced price and many as much as
75% off.. the man said they can restock cheaper than moving what they have ... got a couple books but plan
on going back this week when I have more mad money to spend ... I am going through this thread and making
a list of books mentioned to check out ...

One book I got to  is Jane Eyre... $2.49 for a nicely bound  hard covered copy ... I wanted to read it because it
was mentioned more than once in Thirteenth Tale ... I have read bits of it through the years but not the
whole thing...

Happy Reading

I have never read Jane Eyre - will have to one day.

I have a copy of Anna Karenina that's been on my shelf for about a year now.  It looks SO long that I haven't had the courage to start it.

Anyone read it?  Is it worth the read?

Yes.  Leo Tolstoy's novel is long and somewhat dated (written in 1877) and it is in some ways distinctly Russian, the Russia of the late 19th century, not the communist Russia we all grew up with, in a sense, but the core story is very romantic, tragic and yet realistic, which was Tolstoy's genius.  There is a reason this big, dated novel survives.  It is definitely worth reading, in my opinion (  but what do I know?)  :)

Yes, I agree w/ Jim on Anna Karenina - it's worth the effort.  Never did get through War and Peace, though...perhaps I'll give it another go some time :-\...Jim, do I assume correctly that you have read it?

Thanks Cindy & Jim.

Perhaps I'll take the book on vacation with me and hope the kids are occupied enough to let me get some reading time in  ;)

I haven't read War & Peace either, but I'm betting that Jim has.

I will finish The Friday Night Knitting Club today.  I only have the last 3 chapters to go and they are fairly short.

How's everyone else doing?  Are we on target for discussion on the 14th?

Once I finish this book, I'm moving to Jimmy Buffett's latest "Swine Not".  Sound like kind of a silly book, but I enjoy reading Jimmy's stuff almost as much as I enjoy listening to his music.

WOW!  I am so excited that you are joining us Lori!  I will probably finish today or tomorrow...We got "Swine Not" for Dave for Father's Day - I noticed this morning that he had started it since he finished his other book.  He is really trying to read more & not watch so much TV (a wifey suggestion???).
