Book Club Chit Chat Thread

[Lady of Longbourn]

Got the rest of the trilogy books in the mail today. Starting on book two as soon as I get off the forum. Going to need some fresh hot tea with this.

I will just advise the Book Club that it now needs to provide me with a deserted wife's allowance .....

6 hours shopping with my husband for me today has made me feel less abandoned and Anthony is now enjoying reading his book. :)

Just a quick question. Kinda looking for points of view I guess. Do you think doing a book thread like this might help me get into the flow of reading and help me with college reading? I struggle a lot with reading because of focusing and what not. Anyone think its possible to change that? If so do you think doing this book club would be a good start?

Reading is proven to help the brain improve memory, as are memory games, etc... the empirical evidence is proven by study after study... showing clear neuroimaging evidences changing a hippocampus from small to larger, able to retain more memory, etc. Very valid evidence exists supporting that reading improves memory, thus study, schooling, functioning, etc.

If I didn't have the six hours of shopping yesterday, that third book would have been devoured in the one day... instead I had to read the last part this morning... the Assassination.

My sincere condolences... how dare you have to spend time with your wife rather than a book :p:inlove::roflmao:

Thanks for the insight I will see if I can find the book.

Haha, be careful with the book, Mao's Last Dancer. There is a childrens version as well as the adult one.

I did some research on buying books via Amazon or the Book Repository, and found they are identical / near identical at the checkout. Book Depository just adds the postage cost onto their books, where Amazon sell the books cheaper, then slug you the postage cost.

I put together a few different combinations of books, and the results where within a dollar pretty much.

Think I will just stick with Amazon. The only good thing about the book depository, is that they accept Paypal, which means direct debit from your bank account ability, paypal funds, etc... for those who don't have a credit / debit visa card.
