Looking back a couple of years we liked Ian McEwan's Saturday and The Time Travellers's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger. I'd say The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls was great for discussion. We're not overly analytical and we also spend lots of time talking about other things. Thanks for dropping by my blog. I sure enjoy yours.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449827163911239893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-91330953668876065782009-09-12T08:39:26.228-07:002009-09-12T08:39:26.228-07:00looks like a lovely living room to spend time talk...looks like a lovely living room to spend time talking about books... my only experience of book clubs was the year i spent in Oz but there was little book talk if I remember... what have been some of the highlight books this year???Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255193476024745869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-89769517014595917122009-09-11T21:25:01.056-07:002009-09-11T21:25:01.056-07:00Hi Steph, you're right at least my house has h...Hi Steph, you're right at least my house has had a seasonal cleaning.<br /><br />Hey Steven, I like the idea of a restaurant. It would be so relaxing. But then my house wouldn't get cleaned would it? Good for you for joining a book club with women. I'm sure you contribute a great deal to that group.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449827163911239893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-48830596718575512962009-09-11T18:36:27.273-07:002009-09-11T18:36:27.273-07:00hi joanna - i'm the only guy in a book club wi...hi joanna - i'm the only guy in a book club with five other women - jane austen book club sort of stuff except i'm a way more together guy than the one in that book. i love this post because we don't meet at our homes - we always meet in restaurants and eat wickedgood food, drink heavenly drinks - and talk a little bit about the books!!! it's neat to see the other side of book clubs - the one i thought i was getting into!!!! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-32353217229956382702009-09-11T11:02:23.407-07:002009-09-11T11:02:23.407-07:00Your post made me laugh.

While I doubt I would do a real 'deep clean' for visitors, - I'm sure Anne would chivvy me into doing more than I wanted. I'm more the 'do it when it cries to be done' kind of cleaner. <br />Nice to have it all ready for fall, though. Call it good planning...Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.com
