Yes! I'm only halfway through it, though. I read the lobster-killing part on the bus, which was unfortunate.
Janis-You never seem to rate a book higher than three stars which means "come see come sa" (in Arkansas) take it or leave it (in Chicago) so why do you continue to read books if it is not stimulating you? I looked for that Charles Portis book but couldn't find it, so I'll give it three stars. When are we going to eat lunch at the same restaurant, albeit in different booths, because of your poor table manners?
that's you on the porch - in the summer.
Janis-I recommend "Boom" by Tom Brokaw or the movie "PS I Love You" based on an ancilliary review. I haven't seen any of the nominated movies so I don't really know what I'm talking about. I think the last movie I saw was "Borat". I didn't read this book either, so you pays your money and you takes your chances. I'm excited that McDonalds is entering the high end coffee business. I'm trying to come up with money to file bankruptcy. Do you know of anyone with some extra that they don't want? Greg
Janis-You are a reading fool! When do you have time to abuse your cats? A potato masher leaves a nice imprint on their fur. Press down hard and hold for three minutes. Or you could just roll a sixteen pound bowling ball at them. Humphunumph
Hello, Janis. What did you mean when you said Cindi has down swimmingly despite having six toes on one foot?
Book club book: The Wind Up Bird Chronicle. It's on!
Janis-I actually read the entire World Book Encyclopedia A to Z on my living room couch during those cold Minnesota winters of my youth. It is why I am the intellectual giant you call a reliable raconteur today. Greg
Barnaby claims to be starting up the book club again. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll let you know if/when it happens.
Janis-It's 3:04 in the morning and I'm snoring. How's your bowling ball?
Hey J. ,You sure read alot! I am "retired" (or is it retarded) and I can't read that many!
Janis-I don't have a picture and besides I kind of like the little parcheesee guy.
I just started the new Potter, 'cause I had to re-buy (via Amazon) and re-read book 6 before starting it. And at work (that Potter is too heavy to carry around all over town), Hannibal Rising. And yes, I do want to borrow it.
Did you read The Neon Bible? It wasn't that good (as far as I remember) but the Arcade Fire named their album after it.
I second "Confederacy of Dunces," Jan.
Is Humphunumph, Mr Marthaler. sushi with your feet.
Try "A Confederacy of Dunces". It's highly recommended by Tom Collins.
Hey there! I thought that was you! Brownsville is a great read, I met the author at a Halloween party 4 or so years ago, tall striking fellow. There's a story about a hammer that just kills me in it! If you read it, let me know what you think!
Janis-Your cat can't count as a friend. Are you reading all of these books at once, and if so, holding them with your toes?
