Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

I finished part 4 over the weekend & just did the homework.

I have read the book so many times now, and every time I seem to learn something new that I glossed over before. This time was even better because of reading what all of you guys picked up on. This has definitely been the best read yet!

i think that's the case with most, wendy. it seems no matter how many times you read it, something new is always going to be found.

i've got you listed as finished! good job!

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

Jimmie, thank you so much for leading this challenge and most especially for the information on determining your CCLL. I printed out your post and stuck it in my book to use for reference. I second the sentiments of the others who commented that reading the book together really adds to understanding it.

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

Is this challenge a once a year thing only?? I finished all the book, but things were chaotic with my health, my brother's brain surgery and my sister's health, the holidays and all the choir rehearsals, so I didn't get as much out of it as I could have. Of course, I could and will read more on my own, but I stick to it better if I am accountable to someone and can discuss what I have read with others. I barely got my reading done, much less joined in on most of the discussions.


Thanks so much for leading the challenge!

oh my... that gives me something to live up to now, doesn't it? lol
i've had some real women issues the past couple of weeks but i'm still sticking to the words of that post and realizing AGAIN that fluctuations happen.

you're very welcome and thanks to all the challengers who not only took part but participated in the comments and questions.

yep, once a year. in june 2006, we did it as a summer reading program.
this year we had a late start and other semi annual challenges were in place.
the schedule for 2008 is to do it in may, then hopefully it will be the same month each year for at least the time i am leading it.

Thanks for leading the challenge, Jimmie!

It's helped to re-read and remember why we do the things we do.

Thanks everyone for your insights that have helped me.

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

Jimmie... this has been an awesome challenge. You did an absolutely terrific job! Ty ty ty!
Sorry not to have contributed more... been a frenzied few weeks... but I really enjoyed reading all the discussions and input, and as always when re-reading DANDR, learned things that I'd missed before.
Thanks again!

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

you're all welcome! i get just as much out it as anybody. november was a wild time to do this but we made it. next time, maybe we won't have so much going on. at least we won't be surrounded by holikdays.
