Sunny here too in New Jersey, that is a rarity as well....and I think it is about 80 here too. We seem to be having a very nice drier spring this year. Lots of pretty flowering trees out now and some gorgeous tulips in my yard and my neighbor's.
Sometimes it does rain all the time in South Jersey, and you wonder where the sun ran off to. So sorry Scher, that Mr. Sun has not visited you lately. It sure can get depressing seeing rain and mist and fog all the time...although I like fog but it is dangerous to travel in and so dampish.
Well hopefully it will be sunny in the UK at the weekend because i'll be there! :pQuote:

Well I just finished Candide so I guess I have a head start if it's the winner, one thing I always hate about foreign books is that I'm hopeless at pronouncing the names.
Candide for example, I imagine (probably incorrectly) is pronounced can-DEED but how on earth do you pronounce Cunegund?
Cu-nai-gonde
Flaubert's mounting a comeback. This is going to be a close contest. I've never seen so many votes for a book of the month. I just hope that everyone who votes will come back for the discussion.
ahhh, there's the rub.Quote:

I will participate who ever the winner is. I already picked up Candide, but I think it is the wrong book. It is very thin and only 150 pages. I have to go back to Borders and get the full version.
I also ordered Papillion, Hunchbach of Notre Dame and Madame Bovary. I had visions of grandeur of curling up on the couch this weekend and do nothing but read... that vision is slowly fading.
Ah well, at least I will be able to participate in the conversations. Hope everyone has a relaxing Saturday!
No that should be the full book. It is not very long. It's probably even less than 100 pages. You must have an essay to go along with it.Quote:
