I'm re-reading (actually, re-re-re-rereading) Pillars of the Earth and loving it, as always. I picked it up this time because of the 8-part miniseries starting this week on Starz. We watched the first episode last night, and I wasn't too disappointed (a little, but not enough to stop watching the miniseries). I understand that an 8-hour series will ( Read more... )

I need to sign up for Paperbackswap... I've got 7-8 that I've read, and they're just sitting here. I usually just donate them to the library but this might be more fun. :-)

Follow the link to sign up, and you'll get two credits when you post 10 books. (And I'll get one credit!)

It is scads of fun!

DONE! :-)

I am a lazy reader... I like chick lit and biographies.

Woo-hoo! Welcome!

I read and enjoyed Pillars of the Earth .. I don't re-read though, so that's just gonna have to do. :)

Can I see your wishlist?

I'll work on it. Right now, the local Fox affiliate is here to film our lab.

O_O

How'd the filming go?

Got your message. Emily has Last Chance to See, I don't know if she'd be willing to part with it but I can check. I recommended it to her, and she loved it.

Pretty well, they're interviewing our CEO/President, so none of us had to perform in speech. They got a couple of stills for the website story, and footage of our techs in action at the bench.

I doubt I'll show up anywhere, but we'll see.

If Emily didn't want to part with it permanently, I'd be happy to mail it back.

Of all things, I just read True Grit. Yes, the book the made the Rooster Cogburn movie from. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I am recording it! I'm also about to assign the book club book.

Ooooh! Get a head count of how many people cry while reading the first chapter.

This will provide a gauge by which to judge my own weepiness.

lemon_says July 22 2010, 14:29:56 UTC

Oh, I'm not assigning that one. I read it ages ago. I meant I am assigning a new book. I wasn't clear.

Speaking of Pillars, though, did you read the sequel?

bramey July 22 2010, 14:41:35 UTC

No, I didn't.

Was it good?
