I really enjoyed this book about England and the clash of cultures and generations.

From the cover blurb: 'A funny, generous, big-hearted novel, White Teeth deals with - among mamu other things - friendship, love, war, three cultures and three families over three generations, one brown mouse, and the tricky way the past has of coming back and biting you on the ankle. It's a life-affirming, riotous, must-read book.'

To be offered as an international bookring.

New participants welcome, but you will be added to the end of the list, and you must be prepared to ship internationally.

Participants so far (shipping order)
Glittah, London, UK (Europe only)
RoryG, Finland (Europe preferred, anywhere if necessary) <- It's here!

...and a big warm Aussie welcome to our stateside contingent:

Eventually back to Readinator in Australia.

How-to-bookring

1. Read and enjoy the book.

2. When you are nearly at the end of the book, pm the next participant to get their postal address.

3. If the next participant doesn't think they can get to the book within the next few weeks, they should pm me and I can move them further down the list.

4. When you are finished, leave a journal to tell us what you thought, and ship the book to the next player!

**please try not to hold onto the book for longer than 4-6 weeks**

The bookring has begun. Sent to Glittah, in London, via airmail. You should see the book in a week or so! Enjoy.

Hi Readinator, this journal entry is just to say that I'm half-way into the book e so far, LOVING IT! I catch myself laughing out loud sometimes! She is amazingly creative when discribing her character's weirdest aspects! I'm on my way to become a huge fan of Zadie Smith!

Next week (i hope) the book will be on its way to Finland.

cheers!

ps: oh, thanks for sending me one of your snapshots, i loved it! ;)

RELEASE NOTES:

Sorry for taking so long! I loved this book so much that it was hard to let go :)
It is on it's way to Finland!
Hope you all enjoy!

Got it. I hope to get to this book soon, but I have another bookring before this.

It took me a bit longer to read this than I originally thought. This wasn't only because of the book, but also because of some sudden changes in my life including moving to another apartment. Also the book wasn't such a quick read since there was a lot of details and characters. I really enjoyed the book though. It wasn't one of those books that you're just dying to know what happens in the end, but it was entertaining and it sticks out from the masses.

Well, I'll send the book on it's way as soon as I get the next person's address.

One year of no journal entries can only make a person wonder if this book is lost. The Lost Book Island welcomes this book to our shores in hopes that all it needs is a little rest and relaxation in order to regain its organized bookring travels.

Here at the Lost Book Island this book will have the opportunity to sip cool drinks in the shade of tall palm trees or build sand castles on the beach. If night life is the preference this book can choose from many different themed clubs or take in some entertaining shows.

It is hoped that one day soon this book will check in once more with a journal entry and that it will get the opportunity to continue on its travels.
