I remember really enjoying her Postcards from the Edge years and years ago and thought this sounded interesting.

Who knows when I'll get to actually read it...

Olle, Personal Days was on the give/get list, from Janice Lee. I want to hear what you think of it. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (wernoclue) http://bookchatcentral.yuku.com/sreply/45219 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 03:28:50 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: The Ever-Higher TBR 2009 ]]> http://bookchatcentral.yuku.com/reply/45125/t/The-Ever-Higher-TBR-2009.html#reply-45125
Personal Days by Ed Park (I think this was one of the books mentioned in the Give/Get list - compared to the show 'the Office' ?)

Sandra, thanks for the words on the DG.

Now that's something I've wondered how to manage all my life. Too bad they don't really use proofreaders any more. Too bad in more ways than one, actually. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (wernoclue) http://bookchatcentral.yuku.com/sreply/44466 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:24:14 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: The Ever-Higher TBR 2009 ]]> http://bookchatcentral.yuku.com/reply/44460/t/The-Ever-Higher-TBR-2009.html#reply-44460

When I first read it I, too, thought the ending was unbelievable but I've since read other things that make me see that it's actually quite plausible. Of course, the entire book was something of a fairy tale in a way. But I thoroughly enjoyed it anyway.

I would rank People of the Book second of her novels but my favorite of her books is still the non-fiction Nine Parts... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (wernoclue) http://bookchatcentral.yuku.com/sreply/44452 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:03:52 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: The Ever-Higher TBR 2009 ]]> http://bookchatcentral.yuku.com/reply/44449/t/The-Ever-Higher-TBR-2009.html#reply-44449 It seems like G Brooks has a problem with endings, I felt that People of the Book had a weak ending. I know many people who really didn't like the ending of Year of Wonders because they didn't think it was believable. I did think it was believable. Most of friends said they didn't think a woman of that era would really have traveled that far. But I feel that many people don't understand that humans have been traveling since they could walk and people... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (pioneerbee) http://bookchatcentral.yuku.com/sreply/44449 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:58:36 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: The Ever-Higher TBR 2009 ]]> http://bookchatcentral.yuku.com/reply/44446/t/The-Ever-Higher-TBR-2009.html#reply-44446
Jill, at the kids' school, there was a joke about two of the classmates and if they married; girl's surname was Dong and the boy's was Ding. :)
