That's quite a prologue!

I've had the good fortune of being a passenger on a last-minute road trip, which means lots of reading time.  I flew through The Birth of Venus, and can't wait to hear what you girls think.

But of this I am certain: what a great prologue!

Executive Decision for Our Next Pick

OK, I'm making an executive decision: let's read Birth of Venus (by Sarah Dunant I'm assuming), since Kathy has it with her and should have decent amounts of time to delve into it.  I'm choosing Birth of Venus (vs. American Music) because I wish I was with Kathy and reading about Florence should tame my mad jealousy.

Oh heck: I'm making two executive decisions: Sarah will choose the next book. I would like to read a classic, but that's not part of the executive decision, just a preference. The previously suggested A Tale of Two Cities works for me, but I'm open to other classics.

So, unless Kathy comments "No! No! You've got the wrong book!" our next selection will be Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant.  Shall we have it read by New Year's?  I know that's a long time but there are some serious holiday distractions in there.  Looking forward to future discussion posts!!
