Hey does anyone remember that we're supposed to discuss The Count of Monte Cristo tonight?

Yeah. It's been a year, but I'm thinking we might need to put book club out to pasture.

This makes me sad, and I've never even participated.  I requested the book from the library and was super gung ho about it - until it came in and was eleventy-three million pages long.  I promptly returned it and read something by Nicholas Sparks.

Dr Suess anyone?

Honestly, I think we did really well with it in the summer. The winter has killed us for some reason. I wonder why. I'd like to say it was the holidays and things will be better once we get closer to Spring. I just hate killing it.

I think part of the issue is that I feel completely swamped with work and I've been bad about actually doing the reading myself. Uh, especially since lately we've been picking books I've already read.

I also think we just don't have a large enough contingent of participants.

I have been bad about reading because I have been bad about going out to get the books. I guess I could blame it on winter hibernation.

I thought I had this one on my bookshelf already, but I did not.

I try to read, but I haven't had a lot of time to myself lately. I know that this is really a moot point, since I can't participate in the discussion, but it has encouraged me to read more.

This is one of my favorite books. The story is great so don't give up on it because it's long! No movie can do it justice.

I'm part of another Book Club, so if I'm forced to read something, it's likely for that. I like to pick my own things to read too, so I really can only do one at a time. Sowewwry!
