Re: Book Club

I'm definitely interested!!!

Heaven is FR is too much for me though. I volunteered in a pediatric cancer unit and I read the description of the book on my kindle and got upset. Sorry! I'm usually pretty flexible and enjoy book suggestions!

I agree with Ang - I'd prefer it if we set a date to complete the book and then discuss. Checkpoints can be tricky with many schedules.

Re: Book Club

sure!

Re: Book Club

I am giving a shot at it. I love the concept. It’s really boring to just keep watching the idiot box. We need a relief a platform where we can discuss about books only.

Re: Book Club

Ok, what book then girls? We can start next week if we want and I'll finish this book this weekend.

Perfect timing for me - I'm just about done with my current book and I need a new book by 6am Monday morning for a 5 hour flight!!!

Let's start tossing titles into the mix! YAY

Re: Book Club

On that note, I'll throw one into the mix....

The Paris Wife:A Novel by Paula Mclain

Takes place in Paris in the 1920s and is about Ernst Hemingway's marriage to Hadley.

Notes from the author:

Most of us know or think we know who Ernest Hemingway was -- a brilliant writer full of macho swagger, driven to take on huge feats of bravery and a pitcher or two of martinis -- before lunch. But beneath this man or myth, or some combination of the two, is another Hemingway, one we’ve never seen before. Hadley Richardson, Hemingway’s first wife, is the perfect person to reveal him to us -- and also to immerse us in the incredibly exciting and volatile world of Jazz-age Paris.
The idea to write in Hadley’s voice came to me as I was reading Hemingway’s memoir, A Moveable Feast, about his early years in Paris. In the final pages, he writes of Hadley, “I wished I had died before I ever loved anyone but her.” That line, and his portrayal of their marriage -- so tender and poignant and steeped in regret -- inspired me to search out biographies of Hadley, and then to research their brief and intense courtship and letters -- they wrote hundreds and hundreds of pages of delicious pages to another!

I couldn’t help but fall in love with Hadley, and through her eyes, with the young Ernest Hemingway. He was just twenty when they met, handsome and magnetic, passionate and sensitive and full of dreams. I was surprised at how much I liked and admired him -- and before I knew it, I was entirely swept away by their gripping love story.

I hope you will be as captivated by this remarkable couple as I am -- and by the fascinating world of Paris in the 20’s, the fast-living, ardent and tremendously driven Lost Generation.

Bossypants By Tina Fey

Re: Book Club

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris

I'm only up to page 30 or so, so I could halt for a bit Thank you for thinking of me-you're so sweet!

Re: Book Club

I'd be down for either Bossypants or Me Talk Pretty One Day!

Re: Book Club

Any one of these sounds good to me. Just let me know which one we decide...I'll start a poll and then I can order it on amazon :)

Re: Book Club

Wanna start with Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris being that Jen is already reading it and then we can do the Tina Fey book after? This way we're prepared for our first 2 books?
