Book Commentary

I finished listening to Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. What an amazing book. It truly deserves all the praise. It's a memoir based on the author's childhood and gives dysfunctional a whole other meaning. The book isn't depressing, more thought provoking. I'd love to hear what other people who have read it thought.



I'm listening to a book by Terry Pratchett right now, Wee Free Men. His books make me laugh out loud. It's english humor, and I know not everyone enjoys that. He has a series of books written about a fantasy world called "discworld". My sister introduced me to these books and I have to pace myself or I'd read them all and not have any of them to look forward too.



Lastly, the "print" book I'm reading is a historical fiction called The Coffee Trader.

Hey Pam -- it's Betsy. How are you? I did make that felted messenger bag -- without a pattern! -- and it's lovely. Now I'm working on a zen colors boxy sweater, which is almost too easy. Here's a book recommendation: I just finshed Ghostwalk, by Rebecca Stott. It's a very literate mystery, beautifully written.
When is the stitch and chat at Borders? I'd love to come give you a hug!

Hi. Received an email update today and decided to sign up for your Wednesday night series in Wilton, beginning July 11th. Where do you meet? @ Borders? I'm just a beginner, although I've been knitting for a while. Trying to finish a sweater. jcs

Hey Betsy! How've you been? I'd love to see the messenger bag. That's awesome that you made it without a pattern.

What color is the zen sweater?

Thanks for the book recommendation. I've seen it in the bookstore and been curious.
