I remember thinking it sounded so interesting, and then it never lived up to the hype. Oh, well. I agree with you on a lot of the others, though!Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475183245822795384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-65337740527477286892009-11-10T11:42:44.430-05:002009-11-10T11:42:44.430-05:00That's also one of my favorite things about be...That's also one of my favorite things about being in a bookclub- reading books I never would have picked up otherwise.<br /><br />The Lovely Bones is one that I didn't want to read, but ended up really enjoying. I know there have been others, but I'm not remembering what they are!<br /><br />I put Replay on my list, and will check out some of the other books you listed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-74168341311044654942009-11-10T11:38:33.406-05:002009-11-10T11:38:33.406-05:00Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Rober...Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M Pirsig. I picked it up because I was about to embark on a long train journey across Australia. I'd resisted reading it because it was trendy - and I don't like to do what everyone else is doing. But it had an impact on me. Of course it is all knitted up with memories of the train trip, which was fairly amazing in itself. The book is about a journey too. But it is also about having a philosophy and it changed my thinking about what that might mean.Dusty Bogwranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378437798741434260noreply@blogger.com
