[...] romance novels.” But I’m trying, with my friend’s online book club, to put some class back in my diet. I tried so hard in February that I ordered about $40 worth of used books from Half.com (including [...]

I am totally with you on this one! If I can find it. I read like a crazy lady and have been wanting to read more than just the easy and entertaining reading I usually pick.

What a very cool idea!! I am always looking for different and new books to read. I will have to check it out (if I ever get through the books I got for Christmas)

What a good idea. I just ordered the book from our local library.

I love reading. Unfortunately, I tend to enjoy almost all heavy books. Luckily, I have to keep up on what my children are reading so I get a big dose of Young Adult. Peace Like A River was wonderful, I would totally read the author again.

I read Peace Like a River a few years back – beautifully written. I’ve forgotten enough to make it a good read-again book.

I’ll follow the linky and check it out – I’d love to have a book club again and I can’t seem to find one in real life. Not that aren’t any around here, just that no one has readily invited me to join one. I’d crash their meetings if I knew where they met but that might not be the best plan!

Time to rely on the interwebz!

Jordan — Speaking of classic trash, my favorite in the genre are the MMKaye Death in . . . books. There’s one in Berlin and Kashmir and the Andamans, etc. Lovely British colonialism among the natives stuff. I almost feel like Elizabeth Peters belongs in this group too. Emphasis on the “genre” and the “classic.” (I’ve mentioned Barbara Michaels a few times lately, and that’s just one of EP’s pseudonyms).

Kikibibi — YES! Be my book friend. How fun. (And darn. I’m gonna have to go buy the book today, now. Isn’t at our library yet, and can I just mention that the Seagull Fountain Library is a bit of an embarrassment. Think So Brave, Young, and Handsome will be at Costco?)

Oh, and your haiku:

Hi Jane! Can I be your book friend? I need a new book *immediately,* because although Stephanie Meyer’s 3rd is quite interesting, it’s going to make me feel intellectually inferior as I’m going away this weekend with FOUR lawyer…. ahem, I mean attorney friends. I have to make it look like I’m smart!
Off to the library!

Hey, awesome idea–book put on hold with the library. I definitely need an online “literary” book club. I’m just proud of myself for reading classic “trash” these days. (Where do we class Daphne du Maurier? It’s genre fiction, but it’s endured 50 years.)

I’m excited you’ll be reading along with me this month. I’m about 40 pages into So Brave, Young, and Handsome, and it’s good so far. It’s not yet as gripping as Peach Like a River (no cool miracles yet), but I still think it’s worthy reading.

Mostly, thanks for endorsing my blog in your post. An online book club really only works if people read the book and visit the site, so I’m genuinely indebted to you. I only hope my writing ends up being equal to the idea.

i hope your books suggestion is better than peace like a river, which was not only boring and dull, but it didnt even make a good point. i’m still trying to figure out why people swoon every time they talk about that book.
hopefully his other book makes a bit more sense and is a bit more riveting, hopefully, a lot more riveting…

I liked So Brave, Young, and Handsome a lot, but not as much as I liked Peace Like A River. You should read the latter first. There are reviews of both on my book blog – thanks for the recent shout outs, by the way. I’m still formulating a response to your adoption posts
