Finally, last month, my book club read this famous book. I found it to be difficult to read, but there was still much about it that I liked. Many members of my club did NOT like it very much - one even compared reading it to "mild torture ." When we met, though, we were fortunate in that one of our members was pretty familiar with the book and acted as our "guide," helping us understand the book. It actually turned out to be one of the better discussions we've had. I for one am glad that I finally filled this gap in my 'cultural literacy' :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-36525260875239135282010-10-02T18:50:55.960-05:002010-10-02T18:50:55.960-05:00love Anne Lamott.

I've always named it as my favorite read. I've recommended it to tens, hundreds, thousands of people.<br /><br />Not one has liked it. Not one has come back to me and said, "Debbie, I loved that book!"<br /><br />Zero. <br /><br />I think, for me, it was a case of Right Book, Right Time.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-26409635492564635662010-09-21T06:00:59.432-05:002010-09-21T06:00:59.432-05:00I wish I had started writing down favorite quotes ...I wish I had started writing down favorite quotes a lot earlier in life.<br /><br />Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance has been on my TBR list forever.
