LoT Book Club Poll - Page 5

Looking back through, there was one "I meant to vote for Murakami" and one "I meant to vote for something else, but voted for Murakami...but I'm okay with that". *shrug* Seem to cancel each other out.

Madame Bovary it is.

€uroMeinke · 06-08-2006, 08:06 PM

So are we cool with Madame B, or do we want another elimination round?

tracilicious · 06-08-2006, 08:31 PM

I'm good with Madame Bovary. I'm actually excited about it because the chances I would ever have picked it up on my own are slim.

Do we want to set an end date? A mass IM chat would be cool if we can schedule a time when the majority of people can attend. I request now that our discussion thread be marked as a spoiler thread because those spoiler boxes are damn annoying.

ok. I ordered a copy of MB from Amazon. I'm hoping they ship in their usual speedy fashion. I think Chris is almost done with I, Lucifer and I am almost 2/3 of the way through Devil in the White City, so I think we can both be done in about 3-4 weeks.

Ya know, ya could go to the liberry and borrow it. It costs nothing and there's no shipping charges.

I've read MB already, but I'll be downloading the book on audio tonight. Read by Harvey Fierstein.

Just kidding, I'm going to my local liberry and borrowin' it from them.

Grabbed MB at the librar today. I should be finished with Hardboiled Wonderland by tomorrow, then I'll begin MB.

I'm shocked!!! You guys are soooo cool! You will not be sorry- it's an awesome book, and you will recognise someone you know in virtually every character. It's been a few years since I read it, so I will commence the re-read this very evening.

Even after all these years she still is shocked that we're cool.

I'm not that surprised that a sex book won. I voted for it, btw.

I'll pick up a copy at the library today.

I don't know what you mean by Windows messenger. Most of us have accounts with Yahoo Instant Messenger, right?

I guess I should participate, since I suggested it. I actually dug it out the other night and started, but with all my school reading, and my extremely important LoT posting, it's slow going.
