Anyone read this?

[Lothlorien]

The Wally Lamb book "The Hour I First Believe"? I know it's a popular read....However, one of my friends said she was pretty bored with it. I'm wondering if it's worth ripping the 20 cd's onto my computer so I can listen to it.

What else are you reading this summer?

I have this book that I bought simply because his book "This Much I Know Is True" really was wonderful and spoke to me.
I have not started it yet. It's part of the pile of 4 or 5 that are waiting for me.

Now, I have started "The Monster of Florence" which is a true story. It has started well. I'll let you know how I like it.

Fran, I read that one too and it spoke to me as well.
I am not up to date on new release/popular current novels. Hope to hear if the latest W. Lamb is worth it. I enjoy the way he writes.

I read The Hour I First Believed. I thought it was a really good book! I think I read it over winter break. To me it was definitely worth the read!

I've been reading a lot this summer but can't remember all the titles. I'll think a bit and post about what I've been reading.

I am just about finished with "A Map of the World" by Jane Hamilton. It's a good summer read.

I just finished My Life in France by Julia Child. Bought it in Cleveland. I really want to see Julie & Julia, opening Friday I think.

Other than that, I've just been reading for the review site.

I would like to propose - a Book Club------here on the CD board.

I would have a LOT more interest in reading a book if I had someone to discuss intelligently with after reading....

Any thoughts???

I promise I will NOT pick - encyclopedias when it's my turn to pick...lol

I'm not sure about a book club on the cd board, simply 'cause I haven't had much time to read a lot of "regular" books...although I still buy non fiction and read "choice" paragraphs.

I can't wait to see Julia and Julia. Is it really coming out this Friday?????

I'm in on the book club! I'd love that.

In Social Groups there is a book group, but everyone seems to forget about the social groups.

I decided to trade in the Wally Lamb book and I got a book called "A Yellow Raft in Blue Water." It's a smaller book (only 12 CDs). I forgot that I still have a couple of books that I've ripped and haven't listened to yet. I just started Rumor Has it by Tami Hoag....but I think it's more of a romance novel. I'm not really into romance novels, but since I've already started it, I'll finish it.

I also got Exit Music by Ian Rankin. I have heard he's a good writer. I don't recall reading any of his books yet.

I am reading the Sololist and read A Gift of Grace.
I would love to be on this book club. The Watercooler seems more accessible to me than the social groups. Who wants to propose the first book?

I'd be all in for a book club. A book a month perhaps??

A book a month sounds realistic. Although I know I am flexible if someone (including me cannot keep up due to family stress I love to read though and love the idea of discussing with others. There are a number of book clubs in my community but I feel this format would be more flexible for me currently. I would also like it generally to be nonparenting oreinted
