Comments on: I'm going to be very quiet for awhile … http://booksonthenightstand.com/2009/01/im-going-to-be-very-quiet-for-awhile.html illuminating conversation about books and reading Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:56:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Ann Kingman http://booksonthenightstand.com/2009/01/im-going-to-be-very-quiet-for-awhile.html/comment-page-1#comment-626 Ann Kingman Wed, 04 Feb 2009 20:47:03 +0000 http://botns.booksellersblog.com/2009/01/im-going-to-be-very-quiet-for-awhile.html#comment-626 Thank you everyone! The recovery has been going OK so far. I have indeed been getting lots of reading done -- finished The Girl Who Played With Fire, The Likeness, and Edgar Sawtelle. I don't think Elegance of the Hedgehog is meant to be read while on painkillers, so I will tackle that later. Currently reading Stewart O'Nan's SONG FOR THE MISSING. Susan, I had to LOL, because I was wondering the same thing about the Conroy -- thought maybe I was being too obscure! You can indeed read the 2nd Stieg Larsson without having read the 1st, but it will spoil the 1st for you. So if you think you want to read Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, start there. It's worth it.

I'm almost jealous that you get a week of quality reading time in....almost. But I suppose if you have to have the surgery you might as well find a way to try and enjoy it. I just read Elegance of the Hedgehog so I'll be watching for your review! Good luck with the surgery and I wish you a speedy recovery, Ann!
