(or at least the way that i listent to a new cd for the first time) <BR/><BR/>put it on random. and when you find a chapter that you like dwell on it for a bit, maybe read it again.<BR/><BR/>i started with chapter 12, and 12 agian, then 1, then 5, then 2. and 2 again and again and again. then i lent to book out to somebody<BR/><BR/>i wanted the thought of chapter 2 to stick with me though. i am the problem.rob peopleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808520733346218385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12421472.post-1121102688600132402005-07-11T13:24:00.000-04:002005-07-11T13:24:00.000-04:00Yeah..I kindof just read it to read it because I'v...Yeah..<BR/>I kindof just read it to read it because I've been wanting to for a while and finally got a copy, and to get what I could from it. His writing definately doesn't draw you in and compell you to keep going--at least it doesn't me. And like I said--it sortof just goes on and on. He could stand to be more concise--sometimes memoirs seem that way to me..like the author is just rambling about themselves for far too long. It did speak to a lot of my own thoughts and struggles, but it was not one of my summer favorites. What I really think you should read instead is "Girl Meets God" by Lauren F. Winner...after Pride and Prejudice of course.Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335346622663277040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12421472.post-1121059343188821482005-07-11T01:22:00.000-04:002005-07-11T01:22:00.000-04:00Ang,I have had this book(blue like jazz) for sever...Ang,<BR/>I have had this book(blue like jazz) for several months, and honestly, could not get past the first chapter. The way he writes is actually very similar to the way jazz flows...you either love the rythm or find it intensely aggravating. Maybe I was just unable to get into his rythm/style of writing..your entry makes me think I may want to try again..<BR/>But not until after Pride&Prejudice! <BR/>I hope your cabin time was refreshing..love you!Kate Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420833053475825395noreply@blogger.com
