Book Club Chit Chat Thread

I just want to comment on the Book List and how fantastic it looks. What a list. :tup: Awesome!

And, now the randomizer for the next poll ought to be lots of fun. Way cool. Little things that are really big things, what can I say, I just think they're really neat and useful. :D

I'm buying secondhand books from ebay, Waterstones marketplace and Amazon used. The books are in reasonable condition and at a price I can afford.

If it is a book I'm pretty sure of liking I will buy new.

I watched the movie "The Help" yesterday, last night with Nicolette and again today for good measure... loved it that much. If the movie is that good, I just have to read that book now.

Getting excited, anticipating The Tiger's Wife book... been hanging out for a good read since I finished The Hunger Games so damn fast. Damn it... so glad once this gets started, to have book after book to roll into at a slow, steady pace. Atleast something to read and discuss. Whoo hoo...

Not sure about kindle yet...

There is also a free Mobipocket ? v4.2 download also Amazon. For those with intel one can create books. Could be handy if you were to publish your research. I do not know if is compatible with IPAD.

Series
By Stieg Larsson
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl who Played with Fire
The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest

I was looking at that just the other day to... I can't stand watching the movie of them due to subtitles... so the book series would be kickarse I reckon!

You may want to check your other list though... as Gone with the wind is already in the list, haven't checked the others you recommended.

as Gone with the wind is already in the list.

Gone with the wind has gone :D.

I spent a happy couple of hours this afternoon trawling book stores. Most of the authors I haven't read but liked the synopsis. This is my attempt at increasing the amount of fiction.

Series
By Stieg Larsson
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl who Played with Fire
The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest

These books have been very popular in the UK, but I haven't read them. I also don't do movies with sub titles.

That sounds like a series on the list then KP... for a joint read in the near future. I am waiting for probably another book choice yet, then I will order them all at once from Amazon for reading time.

I just wondering how to smuggle them into the house without H realising :eek:. He sees straight through the 'oh this, I've had it ages' line, but I get away with it because I'm a babe :roflmao:. I will wait until they are confirmed choices.

Next week I'll order Maos Last Dancer and the Anne Frank one.

LOL... yer, that is why I'm waiting... order lots at once to keep the shipping costs down as much as possible. Will do some hunting around for best prices, if any happen to be on special, otherwise Nicolette will hang me.

I was so looking forward to book club. I have tigers wifs laying on the floor by my bed. But theres just too much other stuff going on. I hope I will catch up with the club at a later date.

Brilliant books - I have read them all, and thoroughly enjoyed reading them. Movies are never the same as reading the book IMO
