Bah! We just got the wrong book winning. It's about sailing. Boring.

Jon, I strongly suggest you just read it. I actually think you might enjoy it, and learn something. I know I did, and I'm looking forward to the re-read.

I'm glad someone broke the tie, as I'm really pinched for time right now, even though the one book I didn't vote for won.

And because I am so pinched for time right now, I'm glad it's short.

I was able to get it from Overdrive. So yes, I'll give it a go.

Yes, it's short. And I think you'll enjoy it.

As for time -- I'm pinched right now too, but if there's anything I can do to help, just ask. You shouldn't have to take on the whole thing yourself, and I am more than willing to jump in and do what needs doing.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. :)

It might be good. I've been interested in the Royal Society and the Enlightenment since reading Neal Stephenson's The Baroque Cycle.

I've finished the first chapter and it's really dull. It's a slugfest to just read the first chapter. The author has a way with words that just says "I have no idea how to write an interesting book". We would have been so much better off with Gulp.

Can you jump in and switch this month's book to Gulp?

Are you going to review it chapter by chapter in this thread?

Depends on the chapters. :rolleyes:

The hold arrived at the library today. My daughter got her wisdom teeth out today and I'm completely exhausted. Wall to wall with no room to relax. Sitting down now with chamomile.

I was able to check out the audio version from Overdrive. I finished my other book today, so good timing to start a new one. I'm finding the subject interesting so far.

Also, I put Physics on my Amazon wish list, that's the one I voted for.

To each his own. I find history to be very interesting myself. There is much about the past that still has an effect upon the present.

It's not that history cannot be interesting. It's that the writing (so far) is not all that good.
