MarginOfError Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 So, I'm about to finish reading The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini)...I thought it might be fun to pick a book now and see if anybody wants to read it simultaneously. I was thinking about Everything Is Illuminated as I've wanted to read that for a while now, but not sure how many people on this board would appreciate it. Any thoughts? Quote
siouxz72 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 I'd be interested! I'll go get it today :) Quote
MarginOfError Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Posted July 3, 2008 It's a done deal then. Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer is July's book of the month! All the cool people are reading it! And then there's me Quote
pam Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Hey you had the same idea I did. I"m game..but I just started "The Host" so need to finish that. But I have a month so have plenty of time. BTW Margin..I think you are pretty cool. Quote
siouxz72 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 i'm on my way to the bookstore now! woohoo!!! Quote
siouxz72 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 hey pammy...how is The Host? littlemisschatterbox's friends told her not to bother reading it cuz it was lame. ps..they didn't have the book at the wal-mart. lol! i'm going to barnes and noble today. wish me luck! Quote
pam Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 I've heard the Host is really good once you can get into it. It's just taking awhile to get into it. I'm really lost at this point in the book. Quote
MarginOfError Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Posted July 8, 2008 Okay, I started reading it yesterday, and after only 30 pages, I'm in stitches. I was standing at the bus stop and reading yesterday, and read about how 1969 was a momentous year. I laughed so hard (in humor and shock) that I almost fell off the curb into the street. Hopefully I survive the rest of the book.I also love the literal translation from Russian into English. I can hear a lot of these phrases in Russian as I read them. So far, my favorite is, 'there are many women who are wanting to be carnal with me.' Classic!Now, don't dub me that!And now for something completely different.... 100 posts! My life dream has come true. Quote
pam Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Hey you can't tell us anything about the book till we have a chance to read it. Quote
MarginOfError Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Posted July 10, 2008 Don't worry. You'll see that nothing I said is nor relevant to the story nor gives away the ending. :-) Quote
MarginOfError Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Posted July 16, 2008 Okay, I'm finished...and I'm a little confused. Hurry up and let's get this discussion going! :-) Quote
