That´s very generous of you But what about you? she's already read it. It was actually quite odd. Neh came over to drop off some of my dvds and catch up etc and happened to bring along a copy of perfume for me to borrow by complete coincidence. That's what made me think of the book club and telling her about the boards etc.

Funny coincidence I can´t remember the story as well as I would like to and it´s a bit mixed up with the movie now so I definitely need to reread it.

Just throwing another idea out there. We should read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Persig (sp?). It's an amazing and insightful book IMO and probably my favorite from the book club. Granted, I've only read a few of the selections.

I love the poem! Langston Hughes is one of my favorites. So the motorcycle thing threw me off for a minute but I checked my library and they have it! But it´s checked out until 23 November.

I think I would also like to Read Time Traveler's wife after the next book selection. Maybe Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann...it has very good reviews and sounds interesting.

Here's a book description from amazon "Valley of The Dolls": Sex and drugs and shlock and more--Jacqueline Susann's addictively entertaining trash classic about three showbiz girls clawing their way to the top and hitting bottom in New York City has it all. Though it's inspired by Susann's experience as a mid-century Broadway starlet who came heartbreakingly close to making it, but did not, and despite its reputation as THE roman á clef of the go-go 1960s, the novel turned out to be weirdly predictive of 1990s post-punk, post-feminist, post "riot grrrl" culture. Jackie Susann may not be a writer for the ages, but--alas!--she's still a writer for our times.
