OK, the polls are officially closed, and the result is a resounding victory for Good Omens.
So if you haven't got your copy already, Get a hustle on, we start reading it on Monday :lol:
If you haven't finished reading Watchers yet, well, what have you been doing with your time?
Don't tell me some of you have lives that don't revolve around the book club!!!! <_<
:lol: :lol:

I'm Glad you enjoyed it.
That's the original I had in suggesting a book club. Getting people to read things they wouldn't normally, open them up to different things.
I'm so glad its w**king :D

LOL! I just seem to be re-reading some of my old fav's :lmao:
jamiearmour - April 18, 2005 09:28 PM (GMT)
Well I hope everyone is at least a couple of pages in by now. :ph43r:
I've just finished reading the Dramatis Personae LOL
I won't spoil the start, (i.e. In the beginning) for anyone who hasn't opened the book yet, but you're in for a good laugh, and then some more laughs. In fact it's a laugh out loud book. Just don't read it on a bus, that's where I read a few pages back when I read it originally, well the looks I got of some people, you'd think they'd never seen someone laugh hysterically whilst rolling about the floor before :ph43r: :lmao:

Yep, I think I've done that before. Not the rolling around ;), but the laughing out loud on a bus, whilst reading either this particular book, or another of TP's. :lol:
Fantastic start, and one of my favourite and most memorable bits of it is always the comment about Milton Keynes. :lol:
I'm just a couple of pages into Wednesday at the mo. :)

Yeah, The Milton Keynes gag is hilarious. Never been there, but this book doesn't inspire me to want to go either :lmao:

I'll forgive you for not reading "Watchers" :whistling:
Maybe next time you should suggest a book? One that you have or one that you know is easy to get a hold of.
I'm going to need another book case soon I think :lol:
laughitupfuzzball - April 21, 2005 01:39 PM (GMT)
:lol: I didn't think I had that many book cases - until I counted them, oops :lol:
I'll suggest some next time round, I felt too cheeky to suggest one this time as I didn't read Watchers :lol:

This, I think, falls into the too much information category.
But hey, if you read in the loo (expect queues :lmao: :lmao: )
