My son is still asleep and it's almost noon, so we're slow to get going, but I hope to get yours in the mail this afternoon, as well. :) Thanks!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1160496967247697092006-10-10T11:16:00.000-05:002006-10-10T11:16:00.000-05:00Brandon,Thanks for visiting my blog!

I just read, for example, the bit about Wart and Merlyn turning into fish, last night. It's wonderful, so far. There are a lot of technical terms that have to do with such things as horses and jousting, farming, etc., that I can't even find in my dictionary; but, once you get into it the book really sweeps you away. I say go for it. :) <BR/><BR/>Angela,<BR/><BR/>I'm really enjoying participating in reading challenges. I don't care if I "win" anything; it's just nice to feel like I've accomplished something I set out to do, you know? Hope you'll join in! <BR/><BR/>Les,<BR/><BR/>It's awfully difficult to move on to the next book after reading a novel like "The Book Thief". I remember I felt the same way. I just had to let it soak in for a day or two before moving on. I hope we both end up reading Snow Flower and Thirteenth Tale. I love reading your thoughts and it would be especially fun to see how our thoughts compare; we have yet to read the same book at the same time!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1160496784553165412006-10-10T11:13:00.000-05:002006-10-10T11:13:00.000-05:00I read SNOW FLOWER and enjoyed it.

I have a copy of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, too, but haven't read it yet. Soon. And same with The Thirteenth Tale. I was going to start it last night, but was on such a high from finishing The Book Thief, I didn't want to start something new! I wound up thumbing through my HTML for Dummies book before falling asleep.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1160486710688195072006-10-10T08:25:00.000-05:002006-10-10T08:25:00.000-05:00Cool, I'm all for another book challenge, as I jus...Cool, I'm all for another book challenge, as I just finished RIP.Angela/SciFiChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207325369810773405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1160456722450786242006-10-10T00:05:00.000-05:002006-10-10T00:05:00.000-05:00I've had so many people tell me that I need to rea...I've had so many people tell me that I need to read <I>The Once and Future King.</I> I actually got interested in it after seeing Magneto reading it in <I>X-Men 2.</I>Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06570396984645907446noreply@blogger.com
