A group of girls at my work started a book club. We read two books so far that they've made into movies (The Time Travelers Wife and Lovely Bones). Time travelers wife was so much different from the book and I'm expecting Lovely Bones to be differet as well. Just from the previews it looks so much more science fictiony than the book was... But I guess it's hard to make a movie out of a boom about a dead girl without using all voice over narration.

Weather for my area says snow starting Friday evening and going through Saturday afternoon. Clear and cold Saturday night. I think they said 6-12 inches. Aside from that, I heard the month forecast, supposedly the way the storm systems are lining up there could be 4+ snow storms this month alone

The Whole Foods must not be in the city. I am only familiar with 2 in Phila and they dont have sell alcohol.

Jim, wasn't your ex moving out of the country?

even a little bit of snow grounds me lol.

driving home from bensalem tuesday night sucked. most of the main roads i take had some accumulation. i'm going to be leaving work early tomorrow i think, just in case we get hit hard. I almost didn't get home once in the srt when i lived out in hershey due to staying for most of the work day even though it was crazy snowing. i don't need to be stuck at work...

The Time Traveler's Wife was an excellent book! It was a hard to keep up with at first, what with the time traveling and all, but it was very well writen.

I'm always reading something. TST book club? :o

I wonder if my second job would close at some point tomorrow before I were to go all the way there and then realize hey, it's closed.

Hmm....book club.....i read really slowly so it might be a long time between books for me.

How many people would you think would be enough to have a club?

last book i read was about building modules for drupal. prior to that i started reading through a python and django book. and prior to that i was reading The Voyage of the Beagle, which is just the journal Charles Darwin kept. but that got boring... i've got other books that he published that i want to get to.

Meeshell 02-04-2010 11:20 AM

Haha it was definitely hard to keep up with. We've read a total of 4 or 5 books so far. I haven't been able to start the current one yet because of the new semester starting. I heard Eat, Pray, Love is coming out as a movie later this year. I've been meaning to read that so hopefully I can before the movie comes out!

Reading anything good now Susie?

i have no problem public speaking, it's just hard to come up with the material for a 45 minute speech, especially since i tend to talk fast in front of a large group.

I real real slow Angelo, that's so I can actual make sense of what I'm reading and not forget it a second later.

I usually read like financial kinds of books, just books to inform me and not be fiction type books.

TJs98GT 02-04-2010 11:24 AM

last book i read was that Tucker Max book.....they only serve beer in hell....lol. oh and a book or 2 about management of small businesses and etc etc.

she was, now she isnt, and thinks things can go back to the way they were.

HickRocket1258 02-04-2010 11:31 AM

That's when you try to lose all connections with her Jim. Put a foot down and say you have moved on from her silly ways.

angdefeo 02-04-2010 11:31 AM

The last book i read was Happy Endings: The Tales of a Meaty-Breasted Zilch by Jim Norton. It was a light easy read. Before that it was Kill Bin Laden: A Delta Force Commander's Account of the Hunt for the World's Most Wanted Man by Dalton Fury.

I prefer reading non-fiction. When a book has numerous characters and a really rich plot i have to go over it to many times in order to remember who and what is happening. I guess i am more of a visual person. Reading things doesnt havent the same effect as seeing a characters face.

Reading is for the illiterate.

Work has me by the balls, if you couldn't tell.

You have balls? I thought you were a hermaphrodite?

Snoozie 02-04-2010 11:36 AM

I go through books so fast. I'm usually reading several at once. Right now I'm reading Certain Girls. But, I really need something new. I reread books often too.
