Wonderful book members,
We have 4 that will attend and 4 that will not be able to. That is a sound enough number to go forward. J
Remember it is 5 to 7 at the golf club restaurant – Niblets I think; I'm never sure of the name, for some reason, it just does not resonate with me. We will try to sit outside on this nice…dare I say…"fall-like" day. Happy fall-like day!
p.s. pictures are delayed to next month – don't be so sad…our time will come. J

| Sorry, I won't be able to there. Alice
Hi everyone! With two members not being able to attend, let's take a quick roll call for tomorrow night. Just RSVP – yes or no. J T From: Maggie Vertin [mailto:mvertin@wah.midco.net] Oh! I am sorry to have to miss the group discussion, also! Especially since it was your selection, Carol, I wanted to hear more and discuss more with you. This story is most likely common fodder for social workers, but I was surprised by the amount of sex and violence used/needed to satisfy a person's loneliness, boredom, curiosity, hurt and anger- and were there any characters in the novel who didn't use others for their own selfish means? Can anyone tell me why the newspaper guy was hiding his identity to begin with and why was he hiding his relationship with his son at all? Am I so naïve, or was this guy thinking about bedding the young, unfortunate subject of the novel from the moment she set foot inside his office (ie met him?)? And therefore didn't want her to know his family situation??? Thanks everyone I'll miss you and the discussion, but would love to hear from you. Maggie From: Tina Grenier [mailto:tina.grenier@ndscs.edu] For your information…from Carol. J From: Carol Meehan [mailto:carol.meehan@ndscs.edu] Hello everyone! Regretfully, I will be unable to make it to book group tomorrow night. Jim's son is in town tomorrow for a meeting – and we haven't seen him for about a year. I picked this month's selection. Here's why. I wanted to pick a new author and an author that most of us may not have read. Also, the book won an award. As I searched the new recommended authors at Barnes & Noble, reading the beginning of the first chapter of many books – it is this book that grabbed my attention within the first two pages. Did I like the book? I think I would give it a neutral sign – neither thumb up or down. I thought the ending was a quick turn around – she walks out the door and is all better? The second thing I noticed somewhere in the middle of reading – it is one long chapter. (ee cummings – style?) When I think about this book – I think it is a modern day version of "Catcher in the Rye." Sorry I will miss the discussion. Hope to see you next month. Carol PS: Tina, I do not have everyone's e-mail address. Please send out to everyone in the book group for me. Thank you.
