Pride and Prejudice

I'm very excited to read this month's book selection, "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. How about you? Are you Jane Austen fans? Maybe when we are done we can all watch, "Becoming Jane," and the A&E version of "Pride and Prejudice" (my favorite!). Well, get going, I really want us all to read this one and share thoughts!

Library

I am suggesting a few more books "Love In the Time of Cholera," "Pride and Prejudice," (It's a classic!) "Eat, Pray, Love," and "Kite Runner." These are in addition to "Atonement," "A thousand Splendid Sun," "Dear John," and "A Thread of Grace." Check out your library and see if any of this are available. Anyone else have recommendations. Any preferences?

Finally Read...

I finally finished the book from last month: Three Cups of Tea. I found it extremely interesting. I really don't pay attention to the news or the war, or anything going on in the middle east, and I found his perspective enlightening and inspirational. Holy cow though. He married one awesome woman. There's no way I would let my husband be gone that much for any cause. Am I awful or what?

I concur about reading older books. Outside In had a huge waiting list at the library, and I'm not one to buy books I haven't read before, so I didn't read. I'm ready for another one though... sorry. No suggestions as of yet. I'll try and think of one. And, I just checked our library for the Cholera one. No dice. They don't even have it. Is it new?

New book?

Has anyone read the selection for this month? I did and it is not so great so you might as well cancel your hold at the Library so we can start a new one. Can you believe it has almost been a month? I get the feeling that if our book selection is unavailable at the library, then people won't read it. Is this true? If so, maybe next month we can pick an older book that will be more readily available. As for new books has anyone read "In the Time of Cholera"? I saw it at Costco and it looked like a good one. Feel free to share your thoughts about "Outside In." Don't be shy.
