Comments on: this just about covers everything http://fridayplaydate.com/this-just-about-covers-everything/ entirely true, but exaggerated for comic effect Wed, 03 Dec 2008 21:32:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Arwen http://fridayplaydate.com/this-just-about-covers-everything/#comment-2260 Arwen Wed, 18 Jan 2006 16:26:00 +0000 http://fridayplaydate.com/this-just-about-covers-everything/#comment-2260 Never let me go was so good and so depressing. I tried to get people to read but they I think I spun it the wrong way...something about 'cloned people realizing the futility of life' didn't work for people. I recently finished the newest John Irving, Until I find you, and feel it is one of his best. John Irving is so good when it comes to writing about damaged people.

In defense of The Other Boleyn Girl, I like it! It's a good, mindless read- a nice historical romance that's well written for that sort of thing. I personally like to alternate between difficult, "important" books and mindless page-turners. <br/><br/>If, however, I was forced to read The Other Boleyn Girl for a book club, I think I'd be pretty pissed. It's not a book I would want to discuss, because it would be like discussing a Joan Collins book. And that would be weird! <br/><br/>Susan, I've enjoyed meeting you too. You're a regular read now. Cool. Okay, okay. In defense of The Other Boleyn Girl, I like it! It’s a good, mindless read- a nice historical romance that’s well written for that sort of thing.

Your child is crying because you tell him he CAN'T have a nap; everyone else's cries because they don't WANT to take a nap... Bet it just make you wanna keel over laughing, huh?

But good, don't get me wrong.<br/><br/>TCIOTDITN (hee hee) is an incredible book. I haven't read the others, but will request them from the library.<br/><br/>My most recent book debacle involved one of my Christmas gifts from Mr. Foot, A Confederacy Of Dunces. I hate it. I loathe it. I have never not liked a book, so it's disturbing me that I hate this one so. I got 45 pages in and I'm not sure I'll finish it. Poor Mr. Foot feels so badly that I don't like it.
