I saw your comment on Zoot. You should start a book club. I'll be your first member. Now, what would we read?

Jenny H. said...

Thanks! Wordnerd highly recommended A Confederacy Of Dunces. Let's try that!

Unknown said...

Exactly... I loved To Kill A Mockingbird. I've read that book about 6 times.

Jenny H. said...

tammyk- I KNOW! It is only one of the best books ever written. How can there possibly BE a literary list without To Kill A Mockingbird?

Okay, we have ourselves a book club! We have three members!!

Nancy said...

Hi there! I saw your comment at Zoot's. Mind if I join you?
My daughter highly recommends A Confederacy of Dunces. And I totally agree that To Kill a Mocking Bird is one of the best books ever written. I was wondering why I didn't see it in that list.

Jenny H. said...

nancy- The more the merrier! I am so excited about this! I am picking up the book after work!

Nancy said...

Hi Jenny,

Yay! I'll pick up a copy of the book this week. Thanks for letting me join. I'm so excited! I'll pick up a copy of the book this week.

Jenny H. said...

Nancy- YAY! I will figure out how long we shopuld take to read it and then we will set a date!

Nancy said...

Hi Jenny,

Well, since I work full-time, and I'm in school full-time, and have the baby, lol.... I can have the book finished in about a week I think. I won't be able to purchase it until my payday, but can read it at work on my breaks (the perks of being a bookseller, hehe.) Maybe 2 weeks is a good time frame?

Nancy said...

I was able to pick up a copy today. I've gotten through the introduction and first four pages during lunch today. I should be able to finish it by the end of this week. So far it's pretty good; very funny.

Jenny H. said...

Nancy- Excellent! I think 2-4 weeks is gonna be good. I am having a copy picked up today. I am a little behind! Wordnerd said it was funny. I can't wait!
