The Finer Things Book Club - Open Dis'n Heart of Darkness

[miggs]

The Nellie, a cruising yawl, swung to her anchor
without a flutter of the sails, and was at rest. The flood had
made, the wind was nearly calm, and being bound down
the river, the only thing for it was to come to and wait for
the turn of the tide.

Just to be sure, that's how the book begins right? Wanna make sure my copy is correct

u have the right book

[Doormatt]

I'm not in the book club but once i saw Heart of Darkness in the title i just had to come in here lol. I hated that book with a passion. We read it in high school and it was difficult for me to stay interested and keep along lol. It may be a good book, but it was a hard read for me. Granted that was a few years ago so maybe if i pick the book up now i'd think differently

everything is worse in high school - reading, sex, food, etc.

Im starting this weekend when my book is getting here. Mods should sticky this so it doesn't get lost.

It's been awhile, but this is an easy relatively quick read that is just dark and keep getting darker. Plus it's Apocalypse Now.

Cat's Cradle was pretty awesome too.

Feel free to bump but I'm not sticking because there's already far too many stickies up top and RealGM has fewer topics per page than other forums.

Ty can sticky this if he feels otherwise.

[dockingsched]

still waiting for my book to get in. i prefer the physical book over ebook whenever possible.

[dockingsched]

[TyCobb]

[SlavaMedvedenko]

I'm expecting my copy to be delivered today.
