Shoot!!! I just checked this thread. I'll get the book tomorrow and start. Today I started the DaVinci Code. Read for 3 hours and got more than 1/2 way through. I'll toss that aside and read the "book o' the week" and get in the conversation.

The good news is that I probably won't have a chance to read anymore until later in the week.  But, I am on chapter 12...  Good book, quick read.  I like it so far!

Could anyone interested in discussing the book Straight Men by Richard Russo just let us know the page number they are on (or last completed chapter)?


When we see where everyone is we can try and get some chat going.  Lets give everyone a chance to enjoy the experience.


Thanks everyone!

OK, this is me >>


My whole family served at church both Saturday and Sunday, had one M-Day party Saturday night, hosted one on Sunday, and took a day for just my wife and I yesterday, gol' darnit!


So no book buying or reading got done.  I know, I know.  Call me names.  (easy Star!)

This is nice, short reading. However, with all the weekend activities, I am only through four chapters.

I am running to catch the bus too. I did buy it on Saturday morning, but spent the rest of the weekend playing golf or with my kids at the pool.  I will start tonight.

So, at this point in the day, I guess it is safe to say that we will be holding off until tomorrow. That will give me a chance to spend some time after dinner reading outside instead of inside on the sofa. I will just fly through some more chapters. That is nicer than trying to read in bed.

A reasonable goal might be to finish reading the first 5 chapters by Friday (68 pages).


Those who havent purchased the book may still do so, and those who have had other committments can still sneak in a few reading sessions to get up to speed.


This seems like a quick but enjoyable read, and should be fun to get different perspectives on a good story.

That sounds good Dylan. I've read up through chapter 5, but probably won't get a chance to read much more before Friday.
