Nose is firmly pressed to grindstone, I promise.
But! For those of you who have read A PALE VIEW OF HILLS, by Kazuo Ishiguro, our book club will be up and running from the wee hours of Sunday morning (February 1st). I'll warn you, this might be a book club meeting you want to skip if you haven't read the book--I anticipate tons of spoilers because of the nature of the narrative. I think we'll have a good discussion, though--several people (me, Angelle, Ann Victor, that I know of off the top of my head) have already posted reviews, and I know about of other people are reading.
For those shooting for the 3/1 book club meeting, a reminder that the pick was EDINBURGH, by Alexander Chee.
In the meantime, I'm working on SPECIAL TOPICS OF CALAMITY PHYSICS, by Marisha Pessl, and then plan to move on to HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET, which I've heard about, like, everywhere.
Happy reading!

I'm listening to Calamity Physics in audiobook format right now. So great! Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is next up after I finish your boyfriend's book (Yiddish Policeman's Union).
Can't wait for book club day!
Waiting to get my hands on Edinburgh for March's book club. (my mom's reading it after filching it off my kitchen table!)
Won't be able to make April bbok club - will be in Switzerland. Or is it Croatia by then? Anyway, somewhere in Europe and away from my laptop (getting withdrawal symptoms already!).
Thanks for the link Moon Rat. :) See you early Sunday for some book chat!
I read Special Topics but didn't understand the title OR the chapter titles... am I just not well-read enough? I'd appreciate some insight.
Ha! RAK, I need to do a LOT more research. I'll have to get back to you in a couple hundred pages.
I anxiously await your verdict on Calamity Physics; I honestly can't predict where you'll land on this one!
Now I have this great image of you holed up with a butler and a red phone Moonie. Kapow!

That's a good way to get a bloody nose, you know. ;)
