Thanks for the intro Ilana - I am very much looking forward to this reading under your able guidance as I am completely unfamiliar with this book. I am, however, reading it online because I cannot afford to buy any more books this month, having already purchased 4 for other clubs. So if there are any useful Notes in the edition(s) that folks have here, I would be grateful if you could either email them to me or post them here. Thanks. (It is good to see my old shipmates Ziki & ELee on board. I hope they have left their harpoons behind and only brought the rum
)
BTW Ilana - are you going to put up Community Room and Introduction threads - your introduction to the book may get lost if we introduce ourselves here?

I just registered in the B&N book club and will be joining this discussion as my first. I have recently begun reading and re-reading classics. The Good Soldier is one I have not yet read and am really looking forward to reading and discussing it. Thanks!

Soon I'll post all the threads, including questions for the book.
Stay tuned.
Great to see you here Danielle How is the weather in Paris now - folks were sitting out in the London street cafes having coffee yesterday - in January!!!

Thank you B&N for making this book a February selection for discussion, otherwise I might have overlooked it. I am almost finished, and this is one impressive read!!
So I am. I agree with your first impression. When you look at it, the book looks small and unpretentious, but then...when you start reading it...Excellent B&N selection!

And I was out lying in my hammock yesterday reading Brothers Karamazov, being at right about the same northern latitude as London but about 6,000 miles west. Meanwhile, inbetween us, the East Coast of the US was shivering.

Hehe, so much for Moby Dick.....I'll continue whaling for some time but here I suppose we'll be moving into some more sophisticated saloons....perhaps we are back to sherry and oh, that Tea! again. :-)
Greetings to all happy readers here!
