Even if we do all like it and make comments such as "Isn't it clever?" I think we'll have a lot to say too!

I actually don't own a copy, as I borrowed it from a friend on holiday. I'll buy it this weekend and start as soon as I get it. I'm currently reading Rebecca and nearly at the end of that, so perfect timing

If everyone does finish the book early then we can start discussions early! I'm just aware that some people are really busy and might not have time to dedicate to it. But I agree, it is addictive and so hard to put down...
Old habits die hard! - couldn't believe how well you set out all the characters in your first post. Made me think my notes I made were just not serious enough

As post has grown though I think one way or another we were all in agreement.

Will go out and buy TTW this weekend. I guess by the comments already made it will be a more enjoable read.

I am also quick reader so 8/12 seems like plenty time. Just need to be sure DM gets the library copy in time.

Re: Book Club: Notes on an Exhibition


I've been out of college for so many years that I didn't do a formal critique like Meep,,,,excellent BTW, been meaning to say that! Not to worry about the library copy, sure I'll be OK.

Re: Book Club: Notes on an Exhibition


Thanks CM and Eileen! To be honest, I'd been thinking my comments over for a while waiting for the time to come around when we could start discussing it, but when I wrote the comment it was very rushed, at work, without the book in front of me. I'd been planning on a more coherent post rather than rambling, but glad it made sense!

I'm very much looking forward to TTW, will buy it tomorrow

Re: Book Club: Notes on an Exhibition


I just checked my library account and I've moved up to #1 in the queue. As there are 14 copies in the system should be getting it soon; hopefully by my visit next Saturday.

Re: Book Club: Notes on an Exhibition


Hopefully you'll get it soon DM! I bought mine on Saturday but haven't had a chance to even read the back cover yet! I'm really looking forward to starting.

Re: Book Club: Notes on an Exhibition


Just out of curiosity, how many pages in TTW? As I've said, I'm a fast reader ......

Re: Book Club: Notes on an Exhibition


518 - quite small type too
But you will love it and speed through.
And if you(or anyone) really can't finish it before the allotted date - just give a shout!

Re: Book Club: Notes on an Exhibition


Have we agreed a 'finish by' date for TTW?

Looking forward to it - everyone seems to think it is a good read.
