You've got a month to read it. The theory is that we discuss it after the month. The reality is we tend to discuss it while we're reading it or never get the book at all!  ::)

Take as long as you need to read it and discuss it when you're finished.

Although saying this, with the last book I think we had a few people read it in a week and most of the rest of us took 6 months lol.  This one is shorter though, and we've already got a copy which makes it easier.

It's the difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

Lipstick? Where woman? There is no lipstick!
She wasn't kissing your lips my darling

What's it gonna be Merv?
Interesting deal
She'll do it. If she has to kill everyone in this room. She'll do it. She's in love.
*sigh*
It's amazing how the path of love is so alike to the path of insanity

I have the book and started reading, but having a hard time getting into it. I think it's mainly due to the fact that I normally read while I am away...it's a travel thing, not a home thing...and I just haven't made the time yet. When you say we have a month, does that mean discussion begins Sept 1?

I think it's more like Mid-September.

I know what you mean about not getting into books, I used to have that problem too!  Now I read on the commute so I read at night as well!

I am a quarter of the way through...  it certainly is good writing...but I sure hope the point of the book comes soon...  I feel as if I am reading a daily diary right now... and although it is an interesting topic...  it needs to move a bit more...

I haven't started reading it yet.  I was going to wait for Elle to finish it and then have a read myself, but with the way things are (she reads 10 pages and then falls asleep!) I should probably read it simultaneously.
