Not half bad. I believe you reviewed the book too. Now here's my problem. Towards the end, we read of the doctors receiving an unfamiliar number on their pagers. Then we have all the bad things happening to the main characters but the matter of the "unfamiliar number" was never addressed again. Did I miss something?<br />NantataAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032116685233946083.post-5530435253556545292013-06-15T13:03:26.565-07:002013-06-15T13:03:26.565-07:00Thanks Joe!

On a side note: when I was in the Navy, I always made it a point to go someplace where the other sailors wouldn't be. For example, when we pulled into Portsmouth, England, instead of going to London, I went to Winchester.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032116685233946083.post-65532242553084888112013-01-26T06:22:07.120-08:002013-01-26T06:22:07.120-08:00Ahhh haha.

I think it's Oscar who says, "Can you imagine a life where all you have to do is summer in the Italian countryside?" and Pam says something about George Emerson and then Andy comes in and sits down and Pam says, "What are you doing?" and Andy says, "I've just come to discuss my favorite E.

I used to love that show, but I stopped watching it after season 4 or 5! And I don't seem to remember them talking about that book.

I'm a big fan of the TV show The Office and there is an episode where some of the characters are discussing this book. Having never read it, I didn't ever really get what they were talking about, but now I'm starting to get it, which is fun!Anna Fiercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373482681405269341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032116685233946083.post-31936036608387602812013-01-24T09:02:13.465-08:002013-01-24T09:02:13.465-08:00Nice job!

What I will occasionally do is start reading something else, maybe even something a little "lighter", then go back and finish the other one.
