Blog Virgin
I'm excited about another first experience - first book club and now my first blog posting! - maybe my pleasure over these two events gives you some insight into the placid nature of my life these days; but at any rate I'm grateful for a thrill of any kind. I hope it was as good for you as it was for me! I enjoyed our first discussion and I'm looking forward to seeing if my attempt at posting ends up on the blog page. I have to admit that I haven't started the Birthday Club book, but if I wait long enough it will save me from chores/housecleaning for the weekend before the 17th as I will just have to ignore those in order to finish the book. See you then --Meroe

Welcome, Meroe! I like the plans about avoiding housework; actually, it's what I'm currently doing! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't put off reading...but it isn't going very quickly. To me, this one would be a hard one to procratinate with because it's dense and long. Welcome to the blog! We'll have you twittering soon!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the book! So juicy...I can't wait to see what happens next. In AP right now we're discussing commercial vs. literary fiction, and I've been able to use this book as a perfect example of commerical fiction. It has really sucked me in!
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm not a huge fan of the book, I think it is a great example of commercial fiction--with some literary thrown in. Despite my impatience with the style and the storyline, I think Shriver is a good writer (certainly better than a lot of "best-seller authors" out there) and employs some "upper-level" techniques.
