A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving WINS the poll from a few days ago with 48% of the votes cast. According to my stats, 126 total VIEWINGS of that post were tallied but only 25 votes were counted.
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova won second place with 7 votes, tightly followed by A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini with 6 votes. My Detachment by Tracy Kidder failed to garner a single affirmation. (I need a new word for ‘vote’) I’m sure that’s because Bybee is still on vacation? She does have a guest post recently if you want to wander over there…
ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO DO A MINI-BOOK-CLUB with me and Vasilly and Jill/Softdrink/FizzyBeverage/FizzyThoughts/Whatzername to read this book, feel free to join in! Details to follow once they become clear and concrete?
We could read chapters 1-3 by a certain date, then discuss. Then 4-6 and discuss. Then 7-9. Does that sound doable?
YES! Are we going to twitter it or blog this adventure? Hmmm.
I would love to join this book group. May I? And what do I need to do? -Ms Mazzola

yes! sure! Do you have the book in house? oh, and I have a sug for the link-back issue. I’ll email you.
I’M IN!
I requested it from the library, but if they are too slow I will just buy it because I lurve John Irving.
(I’d prefer blogging, because my Twitter is pathetic, but then again, maybe it would make me use Twitter better! Up to you
)
Lu! This is great! I’m glad you are in. I think we’ll be ‘official’ here in blogland and see how crazy it gets in Twit-dom.
This is gonna be cool!
And I agree with Jill, we should do it in chapter chunks. I double-checked to make sure my copy was still where it was supposed to be on our shelves – and realized I have 2 different versions, anyways the page numbers do not match up at all! Page 50 in one is like page 107 in the other lol
Golly – guess you’ll have to read both.
sounds like you gals are going to have fun reading this one.
Always! FUN is what it’s all about!
I’ll blog with y’all since I’ve read this several times. Just let me know when.
I’ll check back for the date … we have vacation coming up. AND, if there’s pie being served, I’ll try to clear the calendar!
