frankie Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 ^ I would also be up for The God of Small Things, but the others you mentioned, Lucy, are ones that I've already read. So ... what shall it be? Any one of those three titles is fine by me, but I confess, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius interests me the most at the moment. Quote
lauraloves Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Me Me Me! I'm happy to read any one of those books, guess the hard part is picking! Quote

Ooshie Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I'm not much into memoirs, but always trying (usually unsuccessully) to expand my horizons! I'd be happy to give it a go too Quote
frankie Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) I'm all for it! How long do you think it would take you guys who don't already own a copy to get one, I'd like to wait for you, and at the same time finish my current read before getting into this one Edited August 23, 2011 by frankie Quote
Kylie Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Aw man. Every time I decide to pass on a book, you all choose one that I really want to read anyway. I'll have to see how my mojo goes. Quote

Oh boy Well you seem to be enjoying The Treasure Island (good choice by the way!) so maybe that'll be the right kind of boost for your mojo, and since Staggering Genious is on your TBR and one of those books you'd really like to read, you could try it out, read on the train and during lunch time Quote

chesilbeach Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I can start whenever everyone else is ready Quote
Ooshie Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 My copy is on its way from Amazon, and I should be ready to start at the weekend or any time after that. Quote
frankie Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Alrighty then, sounds like a plan, can't wait to get to reading the book! I mean, that's a figure of speech. I'll wait til you gals are ready, of course Quote
lauraloves Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 My copy arrived today so I'm ready whenever everybody else is Quote
frankie Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Awesome, Laura! Do they deliver mail on Saturdays in the UK, is it still possible that Ooshie will get her copy this weekend? Edited August 26, 2011 by frankie Quote
lauraloves Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Awesome, Laura! Do they deliver mail on Saturdays in the UK, is it still possible that Ooshie will get her copy this weekend? Yep still get post on Saturdays, but as Monday is a Bank holiday here no post on Monday though Quote
frankie Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Let's keep our fingers crossed then that Ooshie gets her copy tomorrow! Quote
Ooshie Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Mine arrived at lunchtime, so I'm ready too! Quote
lauraloves Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Mine arrived at lunchtime, so I'm ready too! Yay am off to my boyfriends for the rest of the bank holiday weekend so ill be taking this with me to start Quote
frankie Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Mine arrived at lunchtime, so I'm ready too! Wow, good stuff!! Let the reading commence (I'll have to finish my current book but I'll do that today). Quote
Kylie Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) All right, all right, I'm in too. I pulled AHWoSG off my shelf on the weekend - just to read the blurb, mind you - but there were only reviews on the back cover, so I had to open it and flick through the beginning a bit. When I got to the preface I realised that I had already read a page or two when I first got the book a while, and I remember being instantly smitten by the writing style; I had to force myself to put it away then. Needless to say, I'm not going to put it away again. Edited August 29, 2011 by Kylie Quote
Kylie Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 You're all a bad (good) influence on me. Have you started reading it yet Frankie? Quote
frankie Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Not yet, I started reading a crime thriller by Ian Rankin on Saturday and still need to finish it before the Rory book. Like you wrote earlier somewhere, I was totally biographed out and needed a quick, fast-paced fictional read before moving on to yet another biography. Eventhough I love them, I needed something different for a change Quote
chesilbeach Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I'm starting the book today as I finished my other book last night. Welcome on board, Kylie! Quote
chesilbeach Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Wow - you really do need to read every page in this one, don't you! Even the copyright page is quirky Quote
