Ya love'um or ya hate'um. There was not a single character in this novel who stirred my affection or admiration. I plowed through hoping it would get better, but alas. What did Oprah see in it?? The controversy of Franzen thumbing his nose at her nod to his novel was the most interesting part. However...it is on the must read of a new Meet-up friend so it just goes to prove there is something for everyone in the world of books.

Release planned for Tuesday, April 08, 2003 at Bridgehead Coffee Shop on Third St in Ottawa, Ontario Canada.

I found this book on gumshoe007's wish list. She tells me she has never been to a Meet-up. I'd like to encourage her first attendance. And I'm glad someone will give this book the attention it may deserve. Come and get it gumshoe007.

Wow! Thank you ever so much to Schnauzer for this book--all 568 hard covered pages of it!! This is going on the TBR pile, and (unfortunately) may sit there for a while until I have time to read it through. (i.e. when I'm in jail) I'm intrigued to find out why Oprah liked it so much and why Franzen didn't want Oprah to like it so much.....

Journal Entry 4 by gumshoe007 at Bridgehead - Bank and Third in Ottawa, Ontario Canada on Tuesday, August 12, 2003
Released on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 at Bridgehead Coffeehouse on Third & Bank (Glebe) in Ottawa, Ontario Canada.

Let me explain this release. I have not read the book but a few weeks ago, I happened to see it on sale (over 50%off) on my way home from work. I didn't want this massive book staring down at me from the TBR pile when I knew there must be an avid reader/BC'er who might be interested. So I figured I'll keep my copy as it can sit as long as I need it to, and I'll take this one to BC Meetup tonight. I know it will find a new keen friend there. But thank you so much Schnauzer for giving it to me!

Released on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 at Timothy's Coffee Shop in Times Square building. in Ottawa, Ontario Canada.

I have re-released this book in the Byward Market tonight. No one picked it up at the Meetup so I brought it back downtown with me where I knew lots of people would be. I hope it gets picked up and journalled!!
