Should I read that book? I liked Slaughterhouse Five a lot.

I liked the book.  It wasn't life changing, but it was entertaining.

I read a long time ago that Brad and Jennifer were going to do the movie together.

I guess he's getting that in the divorce.
we should have kept the quote pyramid up to rape Jessie in the face.

i HEARTILY beg to differ. i've read the book two more times since it was a TFBC selection and the more i read it, the more impressed i am. part of the beauty of the book is coming to terms with the complicated relationships created by the enormous cracks created in the time continuum because of his condition, and i just don't think that is going to be captured in a 2 hour brad pitt film.

Oh, I wasn't basing anything off of a qualified opinion.  I haven't read it.  But he sounded like he wanted an answer, so I gave him one.

I only got through half the book before I set it on my coffee table and I haven't picked it back up.

I really liked the book, except the part that I can't talk about with anybody who hasn't read the book so that I don't give away anything.

Hmm... perhaps I've said too much.

you and i need to talk. i think that's why i've reread the book so much - THERE'S NO ONE TO DISCUSS IT WITH. i have to generate the entire conversation in my brain and you know - that's just not pretty.

If you want to give something away, give the book away, and by away, I mean mail it to me.

The library kinda frowns on people sending their books out of County, or I totally would.

Do you really want the book?  I'm not going to finish it.  I'll be more than happy to send it to you.

I'll talk about it with you!  I might need to refresh my memory though, I think I read it almost a year ago.
