You know how that is? When you've been wanting to read something so badly that you start to be afraid that it will disappoint and begin to avoid it instead? But I won't let that happen: I've been waiting too long for this one!Buried In Printhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808249065026802365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-17883412498231457832011-10-09T23:39:56.521-04:002011-10-09T23:39:56.521-04:00Sounds like my kind of book.

But this is definitely one of my favorite reads of the year. Don't hesitate to read this book - and if your book club won't do it (or you don't have a local one, like me) go to someplace like goodreads and talk about it! Such a provocative take on our world right now and where we might be heading.Karen Whitehttp://karenwhiteaudiobooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-28021302977653553402011-10-08T08:40:40.639-04:002011-10-08T08:40:40.639-04:00"Be sure to pour a lot of wine" is sage ..."Be sure to pour a lot of wine" is sage advice - discussions could (and should) last hours!Dawn @ sheIsTooFondOfBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285873722005594325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-20215340601246289842011-10-08T08:23:03.028-04:002011-10-08T08:23:03.028-04:00Add me to the "I loved it" list.

It was very cool getting the chance to hear Jordan speak. She was really intelligent and outspoken, and it made me really eager to try the book for myself. I am glad that you enjoyed it. I think it's going to be a very good read for me.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-1235621054099835332011-10-07T13:28:53.403-04:002011-10-07T13:28:53.403-04:00this definitely sounds like one i want my book clu...this definitely sounds like one i want my book club to read...so many issues to talk about!Stacy at The Novel Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11438410877723922583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-67083223605927862322011-10-07T13:21:11.046-04:002011-10-07T13:21:11.046-04:00I keep hemming and hawing about whether I want to ...I keep hemming and hawing about whether I want to read this book or not.

The unofficial "leader" doesn't want anything political or controversial (didn't want us to read The Handmaid's Tale) so this one would be out. Just pisses me off somedays.
