Baraboo.<br /><br />I love coincidii the same way I love fairies, as something mysterious that I don't really believe in. Here's one: every day for about a week I've seen a reference somewhere to "Like Water for Elephants." Does this mean I'm doomed to read it? Everyone says it's really good. Might as well fire up the Kindle and order the thing right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-74368912231066883652010-08-24T12:02:00.939-05:002010-08-24T12:02:00.939-05:00Gentleman #1 said there are still some Ringlings i...Gentleman #1 said there are still some Ringlings in town, but I don't know if there are any elephants in Bariboo.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559881249054540947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-50131849852765823022010-08-24T11:27:04.160-05:002010-08-24T11:27:04.160-05:00I'm with the frightened-by-circuses guy, altho...I'm with the frightened-by-circuses guy, although I have to say, that's a very nice poster illustrating this post. I would put that in my TV room, even though I don't care for circuses. Circi? Circii? But I think it's the clowns, not elephants in attractive headgear, who frighten me.<br /><br />Kim has made "The Used World" sound very intriguing. But that would be a major tangent for me, as I am busy with 60s books because of my Mad Men obsession. (Patrick Dennis' "The Joyous Season" and a man called Jerry Della Femina's "From Those Wonderful Folks Who Brought You Pearl Harbor," about his experience in advertising at that time, are on my Ottoman of Reading. They're each quite interesting.)JulieKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12521424567356348282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-71258632360669317272010-08-23T21:21:14.170-05:002010-08-23T21:21:14.170-05:00I am looking forward to discussing The Used World ...I am looking forward to discussing The Used World with you, on the sly at book group, or over some strong coffee somewhere, somehow. The book is robust, rich and aromatic, like...well, like strong coffee. It has a complex bouquet with notes of feminism and sprituality, like a fine Pinot Noir, and dark notes like a film noir...and now I think I have written myself into a silly corner and must stop.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853560881137493014noreply@blogger.com
