I love the Amazon

Hey guys-

I just bought Water for Elephants for $0.97 on Amazon.com! I'll start readying it as soon as I can.

hmmm

way to go, book club members! no updates since sept 27....since Tanna has not written yet (ahem) I will go ahead and tell everyone that her choice of the book for this month is called Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen. Taylor, hopefully Strickland went ahead and let you know about this. I have purchased the book and I have really enjoyed it so far! happy reading everyone!

take your pill, Jonas!

as I make my way through this book for a second time, I find that I am amused and almost annoyed with the way this community tries to function. the way they try to control everything, even the peoples' natural sexual desires for the opposite gender ("stirrings"), is so odd! I remember feeling this way as I read the book the first time too. yet that's what makes this such a good story. it is such an interesting setting and story line. but I could never live in a community like this, haha.

p.s. I don't know if its my turn to pick next month's book (I think it is), but I know what it's going to be and I'm excited to share it with you girls!

happy reading,

kaufman

Half-way through

Well,

I'm about half-way through the book so far and I find it very interesting. It makes me wonder what it would be like if life was that way. Definately has its pros and cons, but I don't think overall I would enjoy it. Right now Jonas has just had his first day at his new "job." I really like the "Giver" as well too, I like that Jonas doesn't have to be polite now, haha..

book #2

I never read The Giver in elementary school, however I bought it a few years ago because I heard it was so good. So I have read it recently but I don't mind reading it again! I definitely enjoyed it and I'll be glad to pick it back up and give it a second go. Good choice Miss Taylor!
