I liked the book too, but not as much as Thirteenth Tale.  I'll tell you why once we start discussion.

I was only teasing about discussing with Dave, but if wants to we'll work something out  :)

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

I was joking too!  Plus, he is a VERY slow reader - you will have finished 36 books before he finishes one!  But at least he is making an effort!

Count me in on a book club, but as far as recommendations, I have too many to list.  Besides - I want to read something new!   ;)

Crazy weekend, but I FINALLY started the book today!  Didn't think I'd get into it at first, but it has picked up and think I'll like it.  Will try to have it finished by the 14th!  Welcome, Julie.

Mary -

glad you are going to join us.  The book is quite good; I think you'll like it  :)

I've got about 4 chapters left of Swine Not and then I'm moving on to "Sail" by James Patterson - mentioned a few posts back by shygirl.

Sounds like a good book - thanks shygirl  ;D

Steve -

haven't heard from you on this thread for a while.  Are you going to be ready for discussion on the 14th  ???

You mean for "Sex in the City" with Knitting? Yeah, I'll be ready, I think... ::)

You're welcome, Jan.

I have finally gotten to the "meat" of "Friday Night Knitting Club". It's not my usual style, but I like it!

Steve -

Believe it or not, I'm one of the minority who has never seen Sex in the City - I'm not much of a TV watcher - but I just assumed it would be largely about sex.

Surely this book doesn't fit into that category.  It's pretty tame compared to some stuff I've read.

I never saw S & C on TV either, but went with a group of girls to see the movie.  I really enjoyed it, but I was sitting open-mouthed at times.  I lead a sheltered life!  I was even more astounded about certain things because my friend's teenage daughter & her friend were there!!   :o

haven't seen the movie either - so guess I lead a more sheltered life than you do  :D

Maybe if Lori hasn't seen it, we can leave the kids with her hubby and my brother and we can go see the movie.
