I like cheesecake.

Same here. I love coffee flavored cheesecake.

ME TOO! 8O

:-)

:)_

I think that we should invite all our friends.

ok!

I've never tried coffee flavored cheesecake. I think I should. I do like cheesecake, but I think I like tiramisu better.

Do you like coffee?

yes!!!

Me too! :)

I think Starbucks makes the best coffee.

I haven't had much Starbucks coffee for two reasons:
1 We don't have a Starbucks in my stupid little town.
2 They openly supported abortion, which I am against in every way.

Oh my! I didn't know they supported abortion, but I'm not going to stop drinking their coffee anytime soon.

((gah!!! now I must go! bye))

Bye!

Hi!

Hi. Have you read Bleak House?

Part of it. I'm on chapter ten. Does anything happen?

I think I'm on chapter 10 as well.

:) It's like, really good even though nothing exciting happens.

There's a murder but not til chapter 48 or 49. Still, I really liked the book. I find Esther a little too nice, especially the fawning over her friend. But I guess it's just a cultural thing.

A MURDER?

Awesome!

lol.
I'm Chapter...XXXIX.
(what is it?)

39

One of the things I enjoy about Dickens is the names he gives his characters and the way he pokes fun at them that way. Love Mrs. Jellyby, Mr. Krook. My favorite was Mr. Murdstone. But then there's Uriah Heep, too.

Yeah! The names are so weird! I like the names too. :)

Mrs. Jellyby is weird. Who would name their son Peepy?

Mrs. Jellyby would.

obviously. Who would MARRY Mrs. Jellyby?

Mr. Jellyby.

:D

Mrs. Jellyby should probably have remained single and virginal, i.e. Not been a mother. But she's a saint compaired to that snake, Mr. Skimpole!

Is he the murderer? He's weird.

I feel sorry for Caddy. (view spoiler)[ Her mom doesn't even care if Caddy's getting MARRIED!!! What kind of mother does that!? (hide spoiler)]

Re Mr. Skimpole (view spoiler)[ He's not the murderer I meant but he betrays Jo for $$$ and that has dire results. (hide spoiler)]

Oh.

Ok I'm lost.....I obviously need to read Bleak House.

You do! Its a good book! You joined this group!!! :D

Haha you have a point!

:P

I found out why I'm so far behind in all of my books; I'm too busy being on goodreads! I'm addicted!

same here. :D But I'm on track.
