BellaOnline Forums Travel and Culture English Culture Book Club....another go?

Thanks for the info Karyn, I'll check it out!

Okay. I'm glad I'm getting a response this time. I think it'll be fun!

Okay all...it's almost the 15th, and I doubt I will get any more responses to this, so I'll go ahead and declare The 199 Steps as our book pick for March. I would officially list it on the BellaOnline book clubs, but it doesn't look like the template for that includes 2007 yet.

So here's a write-up I did about the book discussion...this will be turned into an article eventually, with your feedback also being included as part of the review of this book.

I just went to borders.com - it comes up as "Borders teamed with Amazon". I did not get the "sold out" message, but the est. ship date is March 15th! I will check the library - that way I can still read the book while I'm waiting for my copy to arrive.

Ironically, I can order it through amazon.co.uk and have it shipped internationally for about the same price and get it next week! Wacky!! (well, it was about $24USD total after the exchange rate, as opposed to $15 total through Borders/Amazon, but it will ship out within 24 hours!)

Thanks, Tbunny. That at least gives people other options. When I ordered my copy, it was after I saw the warning "one copy left" so they are currently sold out, which is why shipping now is 3-6 weeks. They're waiting to get in another shipment. I'm doubtful that the library will have it, but you never know.

But at least copies can be found...just kind of a roundabout way of getting them.

Glad to know others want to join in. I've read Katherine several times myself but not the other two. 199 steps sounds very interesting!

Keep me posted.

Joan> Looks like we have 3 or 4 people participating. Thank goodness it's a small number, since you might have to do some digging to get a copy. But if you don't mind buying it used on amazon.com, go ahead. We'll proceed with the discussion starting March 1.

I'm not sure what is happening to some of my posts but when I look for them the next day, they just aren't there.

anyway, I would love to join in the discussion of 199 Steps. It sounds like a great book! I've read Katherine several times already and I think it's a real classic.

This one sounds very interesting.

Well, that was weird. I looked for my post and didn't see it so posted again and then I saw both there. Sorry about that.

I'll get my copy today someplace.
