November meeting
The winner is The Gathering by Anne Enright, the winner of the 2007 Booker Prize. We are switching to Katherine's place on Saturday the 22nd. If you've got kittie allergies, I'll bring the Zyrtec. I'll send a separate email to all of you in a few weeks with the address and her phone number. Someone be sure to remind me.

ELD HELL
Help! I'm trapped in ELD HELL. Training started today, Stevie Nicks (Rice) won't leave me alone and Finucane is in my group. Just three questions: How long can I ignore his incessant yammering? How many of those skirts does she own? And how can I retain my sanity? I hope to get some reading in during training; it's my only hope. Right now it's The Wonder Spot by Melissa Bank (she wrote The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing) Pretty good so far (chap.2). Happy belated Bday, Steve. The "friendship" cake was great...I hope it's not still sitting on my desk! I went to the library and checked out a bunch of possible book club reads. I'm bringing them all on Saturday so be prepared.

Leave me alone. I'm listening to my iPod.
Or I would if it was working. I don't have anything to do with books to post, since I've been spending all day avoiding reading. Instead, the other obsession - music. A guy from work told me about Pandora.com - it's a site that allows you to make radio stations based on your musical preferences. If you hate the song, you give it the hands down and it's never played again. If you like it, thumbs up and the magical little bunnies at Pandora 'learn' and add other artists and songs based on your opinions. It's one of my new favorite things.

Bookishness
Don't know if I would make one of these but the idea is pretty cool.

Ramblings
I had a lot of time off this summer - a lot. I knitted, I bowled, I drank quite a few dirty martinis, and I watched too many episodes of daytime COPS looking for my relatives back in the South, but other than the Harry Potter series and a couple of smutty romance novels, I read very little. I'd rather reread a good book 10 times over than pick up a new one and be disappointed, which I frequently am. Plus, I'm cheap, have the attention span of a gnat and still owe a fine at the library from two years ago.
