Matt has read both The Name of the Rose and the one I can't spell. He had a hard time with the second one, which is rare, but I think he thought it was worht it. I am another that never finished the name of the Rose. Got distracted part way thru I think
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See, now I feel like I must make it through this book and not give up. The only book I can recall starting and not finishing is Interview with the Vampire.
Oh, that totally doesn't count, like, half the books for my English classes in college.

I have decided that it is the Ick's fault that I am watching Charmed. I used to really like the show, but it has gotten rather silly.

Because books.
Poor beth. Feel better. Charmed's silly factor should help.
You should buy him a box of Chiclets every month or so.
I was going to say. Totally sounds like a Chiclet!
I have never read The Name of the Rose. I started it, like, a zillion years ago and got through maybe a chapter before putting it down. It's one of those books I always mean to go back to.

Thrive to spite them
I have Name of the Rose on my dining table, I'm a few pages into it. It seems like it's going to be one of those books that I restart a few times before I finish it.
Today has been an okay day, but I've gotten tons of compliments on my hair and my outfit. Since I'm all pms-y this is a real pick me up. In fact my Boss looked at my id badge and told me I should get a new picture taken since I look so good today and since I have to renew it any way I did that.

Cindy, that's a really terrifying experience. I'm glad Christopher is alright.

I read Name of the Rose a few years ago. It was a good story, even if reading it was slow going for a bit. I saw the movie after reading the book.

Thank you guys for making me feel better about having trouble getting through this book. I am on page 147 after nearly two weeks. I will prevail, however!
As long as the library allows me to keep renewing it.
