10/18/09 10:45 AM BCC ZEN BOOKIE COOKIE Administrator	Tags : None Is anyone reading this? I don't know what I was thinking scheduling this so close to the other two. Sorry. I'm kind of reluctant to push it back much because I doubt it will generate much discussion from what one or two others have said. What do you think? Should we just make it a board discussion as people get to it (ie, no specific date)? Or push back the chat a week?

I won't be able to be at chat for this anyway since that's the day we go to Portland.

10/19/09 01:48 AM	I've read it and liked it. The book itself probably doesn't lead to lots of discussion material although it did get me thinking a bit about reading and the love of it. I won't be able to get to chat this week though - it's a long weekend here and I'll be away. Chris, interlibaray loan? - although I'm not sure it's worth the hassle and possible cost. Barb

10/19/09 06:15 PM BCC BookieMonster	Barb - I generally have no trouble getting books but this one is nowhere around in suburban libraries up this way, I also browsed book stores to see if they had it in stock - no luck either. Interloan gets expensive (can be up to $15 - I try to avoid it, unless really necessary) and some inter-loan libraries can stick unrealistic borrowing times on their interloans and don't allow renewals, I had that experience with the Lace Reader and had to get it back before I'd finished it, despite my protests!

10/19/09 06:21 PM BCC ZEN BOOKIE COOKIE Administrator	Chris, I don't think it's going to be worth all the effort--if it turns out to be wonderful, I'll send my copy. I'm eager to get the John Irving read so I can review it as it's an ARC and I felt really lucky I was selected.

10/20/09 09:11 AM BCC Bookaholic	I won't be joining you on this one - still only 1/4 way through Brutal Telling, and I can't get hold of YLB easily here in the UK. So I'll pass...........

10/20/09 03:15 PM BCC ZEN Bookie MASTER	I don't really think you'll be missing that much, Jane. So far it sounds like not a bad read, but not a compelling, must-read sort of book, either. Hope you're enjoying your visit to Three Pines! Karen currently reading The Yellow Lighted Bookshop by ?

10/20/09 08:27 PM BCC ZEN Bookie MASTER	I think I will pass on this one--much more enjoyable was jumping the ditch to make a visit to Three Pines.

10/21/09 02:02 AM	One reason I liked this book was that it was so "local" and took place in the Bay Area. One of the restaurants named is owned by a friend's brother and one of the bookstores was near my home (closed since the book came out). If this hadn't been the case, I doubt I would have liked it as much. Sandra Last Edited By: bayjoens 10/21/09 11:06 AM. Edited 1 time.

10/21/09 07:19 AM	I'm passing on this one, though it certainly sounds agreeable enough. Sandra, I know the pull of local settings. They can attract and hold me even when the writing is average. I felt that way about Night Sisters, which I don't recommend, but which interested me for the local history and descriptions of Madison.

10/23/09 08:28 PM	I read it and it was ok. Some of the history about books was interesting and it made me reminisce a little bit. The beginning of the book made me want to go to Panera Bread, get a hot cocoa and curl up with a book like I used to do in college. I was never one to sit at the book store coffee shops, the chairs were too hard.
