At the end of each show Nicole and her guest do a mini-book club on a book chosen by the guest. Nicole challenged her listeners to read the book as well and then call in to join the discussion. I took her up on that challenge and committed to four books.
I read the following books and called in to discuss each of them:
- The Little Stranger, by Sarah Waters - VERY good book - I like it more the longer I think about it
- The Eye of the World, by Robert Jordan - ok, I cheated ... this was for the episode that featured me :) - but still, it's a great book and every fantasy fan should read it
- Black Hills, by Dan Simmons - I loved the "idea" of this book but the execution wasn't such a success
- Beatrice and Virgil, by Yann Martel - um ... yeah ... not really sure what to say about this one ... you'll have to check out my review, though I don't know if it is much more coherent ...
I have to admit that I really haven't been listening to the show much over the last few months. Although I really did enjoy it I found that I just didn't have the chance to listen to anything on the computer all that often. Still, what I did listen to I really enjoyed; it was great fun getting to know other bloggers a bit better!

You are good with Challenges... I am yet to test it.
I enjoy the show too but also have a hard time finding time to listen. The only one from your list that I read was Beatrice and Virgil and it wasn't my favorite.
Good job reading some of the books. I don't get much time to listen to it either as its on tuesdays when cub scouts meetings are held.
Nana - I think it's just that I pick the challenges that I'm most likely to actually finish. :)
Alyce - It WAS a rather odd book ...
Robin - It's hockey practice night here. ;)
I quite failed with this one... oh, well. I haven't even listened to the show for a long time. But I really enjoyed it when I did!
You did great! I totally bombed that challenge.
Suey - I haven't been listening lately either but it was fun when I did get to listen.
bermudaonion - Aw, that's too bad. :(
