With the limited input from the few faithful readers, we have decided that we will give Wallace Stegner a chance and read "Crossing to Safety" as our next book. It's not too long, only about 300 pages, so let's try to have it finished by the end of February.

OK!
Sounds good I will go get it in the morning and get stared.
I've put the book on hold at the library. It says it's not available for 20 days, but maybe the person will bring it back early. Plus that's still plenty of time--it gives me time to finish Atlas Shrugged.
Ha! My book is in already and I finished the other one I was reading! I'm going to get it today.
you finished atlas shrugged! Wow!
I was almost done with it when I posted last. I did get Crossing to Safety and I'm about halfway through. Anyone else started it?
How do you have so much time to read?!?!? I guess it's a bit more difficult for us because we read together. I'm enjoying it, but Cameron isn't real into it. We aren't very far though. What do you think about it?
It takes way longer when you read together. Brannon and I are reading other stuff together though so I read it on my own. I read during naps, or I just sit on the couch and Barrett gets his own book and we "read" together.
Anyway, I actually finished it. I don't want to prejudice anyone who has already read it though. I just have to say that it was more boring than I had hoped. The writing was good though and I enjoyed that. You can definitely tell a man wrote it though! I'll say more when everyone is done.
Hey, what are the names of Charity's kids? I forgot already.
Haeli is one, I can't remember the others.
Jackie and I finished the book this weekend. We enjoyed it, but were kind of dissappointed by the ending. I'm not sure what I will really take away from this book...maybe something like true friendships outlasts interpersonal conflicts...maybe, thank goodness Jackie isn't anything like Charity Lang (except for in church yesterday when she decided that she was going sit at one spot in the chapel for sacrament meeting even though all three kids and myself were already sitting somewhere else).
I agree that the book is well written. I think that if I new more about world culture I might have found the chapter about living in Italy more exciting.
I'm interested to hear others thoughts on the book...maybe we could focus in on particular parts of the book or even a sentence that struck you in a certain way.
