Did She Come Undone?

I don't think we ever answered that question. Which means we didn't answer the next question - if she did come undone, did she ever get done back up again.

Last night was book club night and we met here. There were ten people in my living room. TEN PEOPLE! I don't think ten people would have fit in my old house, let alone in the living room. It was so amazing and not squishy. I could fit more than ten people in my living room. Except after the ninth person, they have to bring their own chairs. I don't have enough places to sit if there are more than nine people.

As it goes with these things, we ate yummy food, drank yummy drinks and didn't talk about the book as much as we talked about other things. Some of them sort of kind of related to the book because the book reminded someone of something that reminded someone else of something else and that's how we ended up not talking about the book.

But we talked about the book too.

And most of us didn't really like Dolores.

And the fish in the kitchen sink part kind of grossed most people out.

And Wally Lamb does a pretty good job of being a man but writing a story from a believable woman's point of view. (is he *really* a man?!?!?!?!?)

And Peyton realized part way in that she had in fact read the book even though she hadn't and had just come to hang out with us.

But it was good. We had some good discussion. We laughed. We ate. ALL GOOD.
Heddy, we missed you. Will you come next time? Maybe it won't be on a VISA reconciliation night!
