I just sent a request to join. I've been wanting to do NaNoWriMo for a few years, so I decided to just go ahead and join. I'll be hand writing mine, though.
I agree with most of what you said. I had trouble getting into the book, though. I could relate a bit to Nick, but Amy seemed really fake. Once I neared the end of part one I finally got into it and read the rest of the book last night. I was happy with part 2, but I want happy with the ending...

I've read books that have been a memoir type story, so I've had no problem with the framing device. One of the things I'm really enjoying is his style. I'm used to...
Starting this today. I just finished reading I Am Legend for another reading group, so now I'll try to pace myself to read this in a month. I'll probably binge read it before then, though.
