I INTEND to read it. I tried a chapter once but wasn't grabbed. But I'm not giving up yet... until I lose the book again.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229470337926161491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-1157482793379926362006-09-05T14:59:00.000-04:002006-09-05T14:59:00.000-04:00Kerri - yes, and you should read it forthwith.

I've tried, several times, and each time it's just been sort of meh.Major Bedheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669161302510096751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-1157470999337637802006-09-05T11:43:00.000-04:002006-09-05T11:43:00.000-04:00Awesome that you're reading Wodehouse-- we're huge...Awesome that you're reading Wodehouse-- we're huge fans over here (and secretly, I'm in love with Jeeves).<BR/><BR/>Another laugh-out-loud book is Connie Willis' <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Say-Nothing-Dog-Connie-Willis/dp/0553575384/sr=8-1/qid=1157470401/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-5602315-9751364?ie=UTF8&s=books" REL="nofollow">To Say Nothing of the Dog</A>-- it's a time-travel/Victorian/comedy. <BR/><BR/>One of my all-time favorite books-- the thing is flawless.<BR/><BR/>And on An Instance Of The Fingerpost-- a good friend recommended it years ago. Before I could start reading it, my husband gave it a go. <BR/><BR/>And HATED it.<BR/><BR/>If you ever decide to read it, I'd love to hear your take on the thing.Sandra Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664436447708465809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-1157464848420616692006-09-05T10:00:00.000-04:002006-09-05T10:00:00.000-04:00I have a copy of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ...I have a copy of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy but I haven't broken in to it yet.

But I have to say, I enjoyed reading (actually listened to it on tape) Da Vinci code. <BR/>Maybe my standards have fallen as I have no time left to actually read a book, I can only listen to them on the drives to and from work:-)Anilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17479521829735819517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-1157412847061967982006-09-04T19:34:00.000-04:002006-09-04T19:34:00.000-04:00Hi, Julia.

And, I just discovered a spin-off, so to speak, called *March* which is about Mr. March's experiences during the Civil War. It's a 2006 Pulitzer winner, so hopefully it will to Louisa May Alcott and (Jo!) justice.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626200558614529328noreply@blogger.com
