oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
I finished it
It's great...Hows everyone else getting on?
Erm, ..I started yesterday It's great so far though, I got to about page 55 I think which is a record for me in one night, so it must've kept my interest well.
Also, I don't know if this is a plus, or wether I may be going nuts, but since I read Dunk saying he was reading it in a deep south accent.....well, I seem to be doing just that too

55 pages in one night is great going amigo.. you'll have it finished in 2 weeks i guarantee you..

I did 25 more earlier today, it's the accent thing that make it so easy ...thanks for the tip
it truly does help doesnt it?
i plan to read the Argos catalogue in the same method...
"well what do we have here, i reckons i got me a new dvd player... well its shinier than a box of brass tacks sitting in the hot sun.. figures me a collector of shiny things"
£21.99

"I looked at that Scotsman as he rambled through the pages of his 'Argos' book, and with all his mumbling and excitement, and I reckoned he must be about as crazy as a critter caught in a glass box on a day so hot even Lucifer would take to the shade"
I started the book and I'm about a quarter of the way through it... It's awesome
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Do you have a local library? Mine has two copies...
The entire state of CT doesn't appear to have a copy.
Nor could I find it at Barnes and Noble.
Turns out you UK folks have the only copies.
Unless I want to pay almost full price for a used copy from Amazon, which I did.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I'm firing through this one, never read a book so quickly, it's gripping, good choice Trix. Sixty pages to go.
I'm over half way through now and I couldn't agree more!! It's one of the best books i've read for ages!
I had two characters in mind as the guilty party and then, the other morning I woke up to focus on one sentance of the last page... yes, it was the killers name. I'd fallen asleep with the book on my chest and it'd fallen on the floor. I was gutted.... but right
Even though I know who did it (or do I?!) I'm still absolutely gripped by this book... i've recommended it to everyone

I'm done
Like Sian, I peeped (own up girl, that's what it's called....peeping) I didn't mean to and could've kicked myself, beware of sneaking to the back of the book for a peep is what I say. I was 200 pages in by then, and I have to say it didn't spoil it too much.
Excellent book, really enjoyed it.
Ten days is a record for me and in that time I spent one night at a gig, one at footie, and at least two other nights drunk So, that's pretty good reading for me.
LOL mine was a genuine accident I have to say but you're right, it hasn't spoilt the book to much. I've just read another 5 chapters and it's getting better and better!
Of course we won't! I just can't wait til everyone's read it and we can discuss it properly

I will try to read fast.
I am enjoying it so far.
I love the whole thing about white feathers are a symbol that an angel was there and we sleep on pillows full of white feathers....and the angels help us into our dreams.

It is very imaginatively written, very good I thought.
yeah, I haven't read such a good book in ages and i'm gonna be gutted when it's over!
I love the way you get completely sucked in and indentify with the characters. I can really see Joseph growing up, how his attitude towards Augusta Falls changes and how he develops through the experiences he goes through... and for some reason I really like Reilly...
jeez, how sad am i?! :rolleyes:

I just finished another by him, 'Candlemoth'.
It's very broadly in the same vein, the same beautiful language and very well written. Although I think 'A Quiet Belief...' is the better book, I'd still recomend it to everyone who enjoyed this one.
I'm going to be down my local library at the weekend hunting out more titles

I try to look for it at every book store I go to, but I always forget the name.

I'd lend you my copy, but it'd take ages to get there :(

:eek:
other than that this book is coming along nicely...
by the by I just finished last night "sharp objects" and it was a bit of a MEH read...that was just fyi.
I wonder if we ordered from the same bookseller on amazon. I just got mine on Tuesday.
