I'm a little more than 1/2 way through the book.

Will everyone be ready to start discussing on 5/1  ??? 

Does anyone think they'll need more time  ???

BTW, I'm really enjoying the book - very interesting.

I'm on page 105. Thursday is coming up sooner than you think, but so what? We can start discussing it anyway. Jan and I can always ignore the thread until we're done, which might not be for a week or more. It is a good read, though, when you can find the time.

So what is up with this August dude? Don't answer, I haven't finished yet...

I'm on page 113.  Hoping to read a little tonight - insomnia again  ::)

Is Thursday really May 1st?  Hard to believe!  I'll do my best to finish by then.

Hi everyone I wanted you all to know that I will be sitting this one out.  You have probably figured that out by now.  I'm sorry I started the thread and then just disappeared.  It looks like everyone is doing well though.  I'm hoping that when I start oxygen therapy that I will be able to stay awake and maybe read some of the next one.  The Drs said that I am very anemic due to the infection and this could be why I am so very tired.  The oxygen therapy should help that very quickly and they have me taking prenatal vitamins also.  Hopefully I can stay updated with the book club posts.  Talk to everyone hopefully soon.  :-* 16
I believe you are given choices in life and it is not what has happened to you that defines who you are.  It is how you handle the situation and finding the positive in an almost hopeless situation that counts the most.  My son is my hero and I have had the pleasure of learning this from him.

Hi 16,

It is good to see you posting! You have good reason to be tired and sit this one out. Sitting this one out is secondary to recuperating.  Take care of yourself,

OMG -

don't worry about having to sit this one out.  You obviously have more important things to take care of.  Get some rest and when you're feeling better you can have the honor of picking out the next book  :)

Okay, tomorrow is the 1st, but I am only on page 172 - a little more than halfway through the book.

Sorry!  Between cleaning my house for the realtor and budget development at my paying job, I'm behind in my leisure activities. 

Should we give it a few more days before we start discussing?

And, who is discussing this time?  I kind of lost track  :-[

Okay, so we currently have me, Kate B, Kaybo, and MaryBK, starting discussion on Monday.  I'll be finished with the book by then - if I have to stay up all night on Sunday  :P

OMG is sitting this one out, but plans to return for the next book.

Who am I missing?  Steve?  Soundy?  Yardtick?  Anyone else?
