Me, I just want to find a book group that lasts more than 2 books. :(<BR/><BR/>Michael and I work with Books on the Common in Ridgefield -- we often talk with book groups at their Book Group Open House. Have you attended that before? Have we met? If not, I'd love to meet you sometime!<BR/><BR/>AnnAnn Kingmanhttp://www.booksonthenightstand.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447574405650512339.post-10680652058621437862009-03-31T22:03:00.000-04:002009-03-31T22:03:00.000-04:00Let me mention just one other author of great meri...Let me mention just one other author of great merit and underappreciated in this country, at least, if only to start you and others widening horizons: Penelope Fitzgerald, English, recently died, winner of the Whitbread a few times. Among her fine (short) books, THE BOOK SHOP. To toss in another worthwhile, if lesser known writer, a book cherished in The Netherlands if not well known here, although in print and in paperback, THE ASSAULT by Harry Mulisch. Even with a mediocre translation, his book is revelatory.<BR/>Ernie JosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447574405650512339.post-35158634338976651262009-03-31T07:07:00.000-04:002009-03-31T07:07:00.000-04:00Hi BookWormz!

Back to books for a moment- I also picked up a copy of The Help and wrote a little blurb about it in my recent newsletter that I send out.I haven't read it but the story just grabbed me. I liked your review of it. AND I love your bookmarks! I will have to write something up here about them!

I can't wait to start reading one of these too! I'm finishing up a book and then I have my book club read, so I'm hoping by the middle of April Honolulu will be a go! I'll let you know how it is- unless you read it first! Then you let me know! And BTW, thanks for stopping by and don't be a stranger!Suzanne Yesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340451897624838384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447574405650512339.post-45689439189064434432009-03-30T07:10:00.000-04:002009-03-30T07:10:00.000-04:00The Hawaii series by Brennert is something I'd lov...The Hawaii series by Brennert is something I'd love to sink my teeth into once I've finished the books currently on my desk! Was Honolulu with the Korean bride Regret ever made into a movie? I recently saw on TV a film similar to the one you described- young Korean woman who finds she has been bought by an older man who works on a sugar plantation.Harveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490108303790217277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447574405650512339.post-16673997909065167102009-03-29T21:39:00.000-04:002009-03-29T21:39:00.000-04:00Thanks so much for your encouragement!

I also quite liked Pillars of the Earth, it might be a long book but it dosn't take long to read. I love medieval English cathedrals, they are fascinating and Follet captures much of that. Follet's characterisation seems very plausable, I also like Ellis Peters medieval mysteries but her Bennadictine detective always seems to modern in his outlook.
