I think only three people actually read Middlemarch so you could come anyway. We'll also discuss books we read this summer.

It's a mystery to me why they even made it into a movie, because it doesn't seem like the great things about the book could be translated to the screen. Anyways, I hope you all like it!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408471966661831444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-46250407649115638402011-09-13T19:39:20.459-06:002011-09-13T19:39:20.459-06:00I love discussing books almost as much as I like r...I love discussing books almost as much as I like reading them.

A great book list! Middlemarch has been sitting on my shelf for a while now...as has A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I've heard that the book version of Atonement is ALOT better then the movie...although I haven't personally read it myself.

I've always wanted to read <b>Middlemarch</b> but have felt so daunted at starting it. After I read <b>Atonement</b> I really wanted to talk to someone about it. Perhaps it is a better book than movie. We read <b>A Tree Grows in Brooklyn</b> in one of my clubs (most reread it) and had a fun discussion. I wonder how the other books will go, too. What is the makeup of our group? Where do you meet?<br /><br />You visited my Sunday Salon posing yesterday and asked about the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes. hop back to my post (Sunday Salon) and I have the recipe linked to my page. They were delicious...they'd be good for a book club treat.<br /><br />-Anne<br /><a rel="nofollow">My Head is Full of Books</a>Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-48902849890985402372011-09-12T14:44:46.545-06:002011-09-12T14:44:46.545-06:00Awesome!

My club just gets together and party, albeit with authors some of the time, but still.
