Serendippily Nov 2021 4:00pm, 29 Nov 2021 24,318 posts	0 Serendippily I’d agree. I disliked my choice
GregP Nov 2021 4:01pm, 29 Nov 2021 131,002 posts	0 GregP *this is marginally funny if you work in my industry. Sorry.
GregP Nov 2021 4:02pm, 29 Nov 2021 131,003 posts	0 GregP I really hated my choice. I keep running into short books in Waterstones I’m sure we’d all have enjoyed more. Sorry.
Diogenes Nov 2021 4:03pm, 29 Nov 2021 64,840 posts	0 Diogenes I haven’t read this book (yet) and I don’t even know enough about it to attempt a review, but I’m always glad when Greppers agrees with me, especially about books and cricket. I wonder who you are mistaking for me this time?
McGoohan Nov 2021 4:26pm, 29 Nov 2021 50,645 posts	0 McGoohan (Probably me? It's usually me.)
Columba Nov 2021 4:27pm, 29 Nov 2021 21,437 posts	0 Columba Could I suggest we don't need to apologise for our choice of books, even if no-one likes it (including the chooser)?
Serendippily Nov 2021 4:34pm, 29 Nov 2021 24,320 posts	0 Serendippily No indeed we submit our choices in hope and I like the variety the book group brings. Normally I can rely on myself to pick something I like though This one is worth reading Dio I’ll happily send you mine if you’d like
GregP Nov 2021 4:57pm, 29 Nov 2021 131,005 posts	0 GregP Dip this time Dio - I typed 'Dip' and Apple helpfully 'corrected' it. What can you do, eh? Dippers 24,320 second sentence first paragraph. That. Noble sentiment, Columba, but what the La Caceta said.
Hanneke Nov 2021 6:04pm, 29 Nov 2021 82,530 posts	0 Hanneke Agree with Columba. I chose a book I thought was a classic and I and many others would enjoy. So far, I have struggled with it. The book that dragged me into the Fetch book group is a close tie with Labatut... On the Black Hill... I also really enjoyed SWIT and I have no issue with not liking books. I have read books I would never have read otherwise, which is great.
Serendippily Nov 2021 6:08pm, 29 Nov 2021 24,326 posts	0 Serendippily So I googled La Caceta and the urban dictionary reliably informed me it means penis. To be fair, the urban dictionary thinks everything means penis
