We had a wonderful discussion afterwards where we all opened up and shared more about our past.<br /><br />The way JW overcame adversity and made a name for herself is admirable and inspirational! It must've been exciting to meet her, and I agree, it would've been great to chat with her over tea! :)Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560614073319109150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-42411922119521829012009-05-04T17:42:00.000-07:002009-05-04T17:42:00.000-07:00Dear Elizabeth,

Write me when you've finished the book!<br /><br />Dear Anonymous,<br />Isn't it amazing how this number is seared in our memories? All through college I wrote that check three times a year. I don't think I ever used Avogadros' number in real life.

I have that number memorized (even better than Avagadro's number) and I still am amazed (as I was then) at how cheap it was.

It nearly killed me to leave it behind that day. I'm on the waiting list at my library right now. I'll be even more impatient for it now that I've read this wonderful post. I can't wait to talk to you about it once I've read it.Relyn Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389583730002062714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-13225481734452828982009-04-30T02:49:00.000-07:002009-04-30T02:49:00.000-07:00Never heard of the book but it sounds fascinating....Never heard of the book but it sounds fascinating.

I think you should have linked arms and just walked right out to the nearest coffee shop and shared and shared.

It's a very easy, quick read. <br /><br />Dear Jemm,<br />Your book club will have many points of discussion with this book. I added a link to the Simon & Schuster reading guide at the end of the post. Let me know how your book club liked the book.Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-86735535095214736452009-04-28T05:43:00.000-07:002009-04-28T05:43:00.000-07:00I've heard really good things about this book.

I need to read the one book books at the very least!<br /><br />This post and clip pulled me in, so thank you.<br /><br />Problem is, with my limited book reading, I just received in the mail two books - my favorite <I>Fugitive Pieces</I> by Anne Michaels, and her new one <I>Winter Vault</I>. Which will take priority reading?<br /><br />Thanks for this!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.com
