BOTM December 2007

[imron]

Anyone got any suggestions? After listening to what appears to be a heavily abridged podcast of it here, I was thinking perhaps 每个姑娘都单纯.

It's about a young, lying, cheating, philandering bar owner and his group of friends.

I've already started reading even though I haven't finished the current book. Can't say I particularly like but it reminds of the discussion here where ladder theory was mentioned and the author is definitely of that school of thought.

[muyongshi]

So...how is everyone doing on this? By the end I really got into it and I wound up finishing before December came around. Does that mean I need to read it again???

I found it to be really down to earth in many ways and found the characters themselves not ever having any pretenses.

I've been trying to find a hard-copy of the book (without much luck so far) rather than reading it online, with the plan to read the bulk of it in-flight when I go back to Australia over Christmas. Should be able to get it finished by the end of December

I quite liked the podcast, and am looking forward to the book as the podcast definitely gave the impression that a lot of stuff was being left out.

Picked up a hard-copy today, but it seems to have a few differences from the version on the web.... the first few pages seem entirely different (though later ones match up no problem).

[muyongshi]

And for anyone interested you can get it here on Dangdang. I am considering getting the hard copy as it was a decent read.

[muyongshi]

Well???????? I saw you say you were still on track...how far is everyone and what do they think?

[imron]

I'm not sure anyone else is reading it

[muyongshi]

We got a great pattern going here you, me me, you you, me, you and since i am adding this me again! Wow I am really bored....

[imron]

Finished, and with one day to spare :-)
