Re: Mosque near Ground Zero

Christian religious fanatics are using this issue to persuade Americans that we should forget our constitution and practice prejudice. Believe me, they - Christian religious fanatics - are a tiny minority in the world wide protest on this matter. So tiny in fact that they are not even on the radar....

Re: Who is reading or plans to read this book?

Oh, that book. It's been sitting in my massive "to be read" pile for a year or so. The "peoples" :D in one of my other more serious literary clubs really dissed it something awful. The general consus there was "don't bother". Described it as "phenomenally uninteres...

Re: Why don't we read?

My situation is the polar opposite. I can't put my book down.

That's why I joined BookTalk. I expected to talk endlessly about books, books and more books.

The way to my heart is a good book or a gift certificate for many. :-)

Re: What next?

I find this entire phenomenon amazing. 1,000 people love it and 500 people loathe it yet they've made a movie out of it with Julia Roberts on a book that's always had lukewarm ratings (at best) from the get-go.

I was under these 2 impressions (hearsay) but I could be dead wrong, natch: 1) That a park or some kind of memorial was bu...
