I've read about half of the moviegoer.. but have gotten really busy lately and haven't finished it yet.. I don't know if that's the book we're on, or if we've...
Movie Goer is next. Has anyone read Death Comes to the Archbishop by Willa Cather (current book for discussion)? I don't have a copy to read. How do you like...
Well, I haven't decided yet whether or not I like it. But it is a type of book that I might end up liking. It's a little bizarre, in a strange way though, I...

Well, I gave my dictionary a real workout, but I finished Zuleika Dobson. A few chortles and fine turns of phrase, but mostly it seemed like homework, not...
I thought the scene where the dean is wondering why no undergraduates came to dinner was hilarious. Overall, while I found it funny I thought it was dated. I...
Hi Henry and Tad, I haven't read Zuleika Dobson, but I think it was part of the Edwardian flourish of creativity that gave rise to the Bloomsbury Group. Is...
