Kathleen | 323 comments Thanks Charlene. I'm in, and will probably start reading at the beginning of September.

Carol (carolfromnc) | 816 comments I'm in, and will shoot for starting at the same time. I'm looking forward to this read.


Kathleen | 323 comments I'm going to finish a few books and hopefully start this next week--my reward. :-)

Carol (carolfromnc) | 816 comments That's perfect, Kathleen. I need to clear three myself.

Haaze | 57 comments Hmm, this is an intriguing book (but shouldn't one read it in April?)!

;-)

Kathleen | 323 comments That is an adorable picture.

I'm still reading this in September though ... :-)

Haaze | 57 comments Let me know when you start. :-)

Carol (carolfromnc) | 816 comments I started the Penguin Classics version. The Intro by Brenda Bowen was wonderful --factual, gossipy, just perfect. I am exhausted but will start the book itself tomorrow.

Ok! :)


Kathleen | 323 comments I was sad to find my copy has no intro. :-( But I found it online:

So glad you mentioned it, Carol--great stuff. I love the connection with Bridget Jones and especially with Absolutely Fabulous! I can see both of those, just from having read her memoir.

Oh boy--this should be fun. I'll start this weekend sometime.


Kathleen | 323 comments I will probably finish this in the next few days.

If you haven't read it yet, I think maybe Haaze was right after all, that it should be read in April. Well, not necessarily April, but it needs to be read on vacation--on a luxurious holiday, where the slow pace fits right in. At this time of year, when life tends to be speeding up, it doesn't really fit.

I am still really enjoying it though. I love her writing!
