The Fault in Our Stars

Posted

The Fault in Our Stars!!! I really want to read this book and discuss it, everyone in my school says it is GREAT.

I'll vote for The Fault in our Stars, since I've never read it and I've read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe many times. Not to mention, the preview I just read off of Amazon was pretty good.

Posted

Fault would be my choice too.

Posted

The Fault in Our Stars. It's supposed to be really good, and the amount of people voting for it seems to back that rumor up.

Posted

So far it is 6.5 vs 1.5 in favor of The Fault In Our Stars.  Technically we have until Sunday at midnight and/or until IceNine calls it... but I suspect we have a winner.........

 

Anyone else wanna vote?

Rather than spending money that could go towards my kilt, I'll just use the library.

That's just fine.... just get ready to :bible: and :spike:

Oh... and while you are at the Library, you might pick these up (you can order them from Interlibrary Loan if your library doesn't have them....)

Happy reading and craft-making, Miles!

So discussion begins at the end of February? 

 

Edit: Additionally, the first trailer for the movie came out today.  It does a pretty good job of summarizing the book, without any real big plot-twisty-ruining spoilers, for anyone who isn't sure what the book is about:

Idunno... I had thought earlier, but it should start when people have had a chance to read the book.   Mine won't ARRIVE until Saturday.

 

IceNine, when do you want the book discussion to start?

Oh my word, I am so excited!!! I've yet to read the book yet, but I've been a huge fan of the Vlog Brothers for a really long time, so I'm just a big fan of anything John Green does, really. :P

Posted

My book is due to arrive today!!!!!

 

Glad you are so excited Miles... I am too!!!!!

 

And remember, if you read it between December and Feb 2, you can claim it as a book read for the Phatmass Advent to Candlemas book challenge.... AND.... we have a 3x credit available for anyone who reads the Book Club selection before Candlemas!  So.... :bible: quickly and get your 3x pages!!!!

I'm almost done the book. I have to say there's some, err... questionable... material in it. It's brief, not really graphic, and fairly obvious in the lead up to it so it could be avoided, but it isn't a book I'd give to my fifteen-year-old sister. Just a heads up.

It never really phases me unless it's super descriptive and graphic. As far as I'm aware, it's not like that, though, so I'm not worried about it. Other people are a lot more stingy on that kind of stuff, though.

I am with FP on this one.

I totally understand that. I'm really not that concerned about it, but I figured I would offer a warning so someone who might be bothered wouldn't be blindsided by it.

Yeah, definitely. I just want to make sure nobody thinks it's worse than it actually is so they don't change the book of the month. The book does say they have sex, but it's not like 50 Shades of Grey or anything. :P
