.:.Book Bodega.:. discussion

Leave your thoughts about A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby, as you are reading, just make sure you say what chapter & page you are on so that there are no spoilers. This way we can discuss as we read without ruining the ending for anyone.

I actually blew through this over the weekend. Liked it - quirky characters and a quick read. Will say more as others read it!

Would've started with this one but it was 12bucks & the other was 9 lol

Getting this one from the library tonight. 15th on the waiting list on the other and still plodding along with Under the Dome.

Kai, what are you thinking of Under the Dome? (Guess you should answer me on the "Dome" discussion thread!)

JJ, Maureen, Martin & Jess have all met & shared their stories.

There are funny bits but I think this may not be the book for me to read while i'm in my funky funk

Yeah, it's not superb. We need something REALLY awesomely fantastic! Hmmm....

Finished. Over all, I liked it. I just wish that there was more to each of the four characters. Though I guess if there was more to begin with, they wouldn't have been up on Topper's house, would they? I'm still wondering why JJ isn't in jail for not returning his boss's scooter. Can't help it, my mind just latches unto silly details.

Funny - I enjoyed the book while I was reading it and now it's as if my brain didn't hang on to any of the details!

complete. funny look at the dark side of life. people get depressed, lost & get consumed by this void & this kinda shows how basic it can be and yet how basic to get out of it & the importance of having people in your life - even if you dont like them very much, lol
