bring out your dead
So the kids, of course, are keen on Halloween.
It is going to be seasonally warm today (14C), however, it will be steady rain today from noon until the night with bouts of heavy rain. Not ideal for trick or treating.
I'm part of the Capital Campaign Committee in my church and we just scored six NHL tickets (two in one game and four in another). We'll be printing 1500 raffle tickets selling them at 20$ a piece. Hopefully we'll manage to sell them all and raise a good amount.
Tomorrow night is our monthly book group meeting. We are to have read the Bank of Certain Rivers by Jon Harrison. It took a really long time in the story for there to be any movement; the first 100-120 pages was just introductory material to bring the main characters to light. It was also poorly copy-edited.

i dislike stories like that.
I once considered joining a book club but came to the conclusion that I would have trouble reading a book that was set for me especially if it was one like you have described.
When I was at school I was given detention and forced to finish reading the book that was set. This happened more than once. I think my teachers would have been surprised if they had known how many books I would read in a month. Many of them were classics or history books.
So yeah, tell me to read a book and I probably won't. Mind you, if I liked the sound of it once everyone has talked about it, then I probably would read it.
Hope the raffle selling is a success.
"I'm not dead yet!"
ghost: me too, though in the end the story was well told, it just could have used some chopping in the first third.
deb: I like being part of the book group as it gets me to reading books I would never pick on my own. I don't feel compelled to finish every book we read, but I generally read them all anyhow as I read fairly quickly. Thanks for the god wishes on the raffle.
zhoen: easy reference to spot. One of my favourite Monty Python is the one about an Argument.
No it's not.
