November book club

[charlatti]

I've been forgetting about the book club  books, so I thought I'd see how it's going for anyone else this month. The poll, for app users, asks if you're planning to read the book -- yes, probably, probably not, no.

The book for November is The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway.

I really want to read this, but I'm not sure it's going to happen this month. If there is a discussion, I'll bump it and join in whenever I do read it.

I really want to say yes, but...probably not. And especially if others aren't going to.

Ugh, book club started out with such promise, and then just fizzled. And I'm just as much to blame as everyone else.

I've read it a few times, so I can discuss it, but I probably won't re-read. SS.

Sadly, no. I have so much to do crammed into this month and December with being pregnant, it's just not going to happen for either month's book club. And I won't be able to help start up next year's book club if we do one again, either (I'm due in February). I did enjoy all the months I participated in this year, but just wont' have the time to invest next year.

We should do a children's book discussion! Goodnight Moon, The Giving Tree, that creepy one with the sad story behind it... so much to talk about. Congrats, btw!

I am guilty of this too.... I love discussing books, and these are all books I wasn't too read, but I can't get through books as fast as I'd like, so I'm lucky if I can read one book per month as it is. Most of my ' reads' are audio these days.
I love discussing books too (no book friends IRL).

I know my problem is my tastes seem to be different from most people I know and I find very few people who have read the books I have.

And in a public forum like this one, I worry about spoilers, even unintentional ones, so I'm very, very cautious about what I do say.

Maybe next year we can do just a few months at a time. It might regenerate interest every quarter or halfway through the year. I did pretty good early and fell off after Agatha Christie, plus I had to wait too long for goldfinch at the library and it took forever to get through.
I did want to read this month's, it just didn't happen this month.
