Hmm... Okay, what I meant was "reading group" (our formally proposed
name almost 5 years ago was the "Reading Salon" (snerk)... and we go
alphabetically through our member list, and the selected person gets
to pick a book he/she thinks might be interesting.  My first time
around, I actually picked HP&SS - and everyone read it but 2 people. 
These two people were a couple (the woman wears the pants/trousers, if
you get my drift), and she actually said when we started discussion,
"I don't read *children's books*."

Well, that wasn't very nice, was it?  Needless to say, she quit the
group a few months later.  I guess we weren't high brow enough for her. ;)

So anyway, Lorie (this month's picker) selected TDVC, which she's
heard is good (from friends), but it's not available in paperback yet,
so it's a little hard on the budget this month.

-Jen, broke until next year - when she doesn't have to pay preschool
costs anymore.
