Is anyone reading Count of Monte Cristo?

[smock]

Because TIP BC is scheduled for tomorrow night. That's Tuesday, January 29th for those who don't look at the calendar. Will anyone be there?

I'm reading it but:
a) wont finish it by tomorrow and
b) realized that H's BFF's baby is being born tomorrow (scheduled c-section) so I think we'll be visiting tomorrow night

Apparently, we are bad at book club

[smock]

Yeah we really suck at book club! I am also not finished...

[bowies]

It's one of my favorite books, but it's been a while since I've re-read it. I can probably hang in a discussion.

[imoan]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that wont finish it!

[smock]

So imoan could you even do tomorrow night if you'll be seeing a baby?

Probably not.  I just realized last night that her c-section date was the same as book club.

[Muddled]

Me neither. Postpone? lol

[imoan]

I started it and am really enjoying it! So I'd love to be involved in the discussion!

[starrieskies]

I'm only about 1/5th of the way through it. I can't usually participate in the discussions, but I like to read along... I read it in high school, orginally, but that's been *ahem* a few years...

[smock]

Okay if we postpone, what date works for people? Should we give everyone a week or two to finish the book?

[imoan]

I'm good with a week or two. If we wanna keep Tuesday, the 5th wont work for me. But the following Tuesday (the 12th) would be great!

[smock]

Let's do Tuesday February 12th unless anyone objects. Hit the books, people!

But what if they hit back!?

[Muddled]

Works for me!

Unless the books start hitting me. Then I'm out.

I am reminded of those antacid commercials where the woman is smacked in the face with a chicken wing.

How about this: read, or smock will throw a book at you!

Yes! That means you have to come visit.

[smock]

I have a really, really good throwing arm.

I have not read it, but I nominate Siddhartha for next month's book club. I'm reading it for work, so I'll be guaranteed to participate next month.
