BLOGGING: It's Tuesday, Where Are You?
I am in an office, in a cubicle, working at an ad agency in Chicago. That sounds boring, and it is, but people do what they can to make a boring job bearable, and this is a pretty funny look at group think and group speak. (Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris)
Don't forget the Bookword Game this week - we are voting at Suey's for a word to describe a book you read after you've seen the movie. It's fun to vote, so go on over and then come back to Suey's tomorrow and give suggestions for the next Bookword. The more that play the better.
Where is reading taking you today? Leave a comment, write a post, spread the word.
Here I am teasing about where I am this week.

I'm on a train heading to the Russian countryside from Moscow. There is shooting in the town that Lara lived. It's the Reds vs the Whites. (Dr Zhivago)
ReplyDeleteAlso I'm really happy to hear you're reading and enjoying, Then We Came to the End. Ferris does a really good job of maintaining the first person plural voice throughout the novel. It never once gets tiring. Happy reading!

I've been wanting to read Then We Came to the End since Nick Hornby mentioned it in Housekeeping vs. the Dirt.
