Same here. How long do we have to read? It doesn't look all that long. I just got myself a well worn copy from my library today.

This will get me back to the library. I've neglected it since my daughter couldn't keep quiet. Well today I had my daughter and another almos 3 yr old. They were both very good and quiet. Maybe I can do this.

I'm gonna get started soon. - Just so you know I won't be on here as much since I have to use my time on here to read it. I'll be back more often though when I'm done.

That's so funny!

I think that we should give everyone till this weekend to obtain the book and what do you think next weekend to finish? What does everyone think?????/

maleficent

Amazon hasn't shipped it yet -- impatiently drumming my fingers --

and alas my local library, when I finally get home, is closed on weekends.

Yeah go ahead and keep us updated. I am new to this to.

Amethyst

I don't know if anyone is interested but last night I was watching the lifetimenetwork and THE VIRGIN SUICIDES is on the lifetime network May 28 at 9 pm et/pt. I don't know that I will watch it because I want to finish the book first, but who knows.

fallenangel

K, this copy of the book is 249 pages, and i'm on page 106, i can't put it down, i really like it so far.... I still have some hesitations, but i'll go into that further along. All i know is it's told from a different perspective than i've read from in a long while. I don't think i'll be finished by the time that it's on TV, and if i were to watch it, i'd want to finish the book first. Then it won't ruin the pictures i've painted in my mind thus far.

Christ, fallenangle, I haven't even gotten the book yet and you're already done!! Man, have I got some catching up to do. By the time we discuss this, you will have forgotten what happened in it!!

I'm about half way through. I'm sure I'll be finished by Monday as we have a couple hour drive ahead of us today - meaning relatively uninterrupted reading time.

I want to join, but I'm a fast reader.. I'll read 100 pages in 4-6h.

I hope that's okay.

I need to obtain download it first though.

Since Amazon is taking so long, anyone want to share the location for which to procure this book via technology? Which would enable me to take advantage of bandwith?

Thanks

Sorry, real life got in the way...and I haven't even started reading it, I admit...
I adore reading, but it makes me sleepy, so I can't do it when I'm too tired or I won't get far
It's going to bed with me tonight tho, once I start it, I will then naturally progress to finishing it by the weekend

You ladies are amazing: between traveling for the 3 day weekend, raising kids, Lebell moving in, dealing with the ex, and the end of the school year, I've had no time to even find it. Hopefully tonight I can shop while the girls are at the gym. It sounds like a must read book!

The library keeps teasing me. The computer says they have it, but it's not on the shelf. They claim it's in transit from another library. It's all a big conspiracy I'm sure...

Hmm...I must admit, I'm glad some of you haven't started yet.

I started last nite, and must say I can tell I'm gonna love it..definitely my kinda book.

Just don't know how much reading time I will have over the next few days, jsut found out this morning that we're having a guest visit this weekend...and in the meantime, will need to clean house and such.

We should start up a new thread about the book itself. So those of us who are reading/have read it can go there to talk about whats going on.
