so, basically i have come to joyous terms that this book club does not fall within the parameters that normal book clubs do. this is really a place where people can comment on books, give recommendations, exchange information, let us know what you are reading and what you have read, etc...
in ADDITION, there are some who are reading the SAME books so that we can talk about them specifically, but there is no time line, no necessary reading list or anything of the sorts. i hope we can share our literary passions through this blog and i hope i get to expand my repertoire of literature through your recommendations!
sooo, three cups of tea...
i am about half way through but it has been a struggle to get through it! i enjoy reading the parts about mortenson's life and his challenges to build the school, but the way that relin writes can be difficult for me to read. every time they cross a bridge, pass a mountain etc, etc, he has to go into a long spiel about someone else who has seen that mountain or crossed that bridge. i guess it just slows me down and i want to see what happens next...it kind of reminds me of reading hugo. i LOVE les miserables and i really enjoy reading Hugo, who has such a talent with language, but to be quite honest, i dont care to know the history of the battle of waterloo, i just want to know what happens to jean valjean!!! anyway, speaking of les miserables, i am about 750 pgs into it and maybe i will get to the full 1000+ by the end of the summer...
any comments on three cups so far?
