Book Club - We Double Dog Dare you to enjoy a good book

Our wine this evening was a Double Dog Dare White Zinfandel.  We have two more meetings scheduled to continue PP&Z.


Tonight the discussion started with some of our favorite quotes that we have read so far.  We each put three quotes in the pile and everyone had to guess which character said those words.


Char kicked some serious ass here. See if you can figure out who said which quote:

• "on the contrary, I find that balls are much more enjoyable when they cease to remain private."
• "If only words were capable of beheading a zombie," she thought, "I would presently find myself in the company of the worlds two greatest warriors."
• "Oh, I heard you before but I could not immediately determine what to say in reply"
• "Miss Bingley, the groans of a hundred unmentionables would be more pleasing to my ears than one more word from your mouth.  Were you not otherwise agreeable, I should be forced to remove your tongue with my saber."
• "Spoken like one who has never known the ecstasy of holding a still beating heart in her hand."

We discussed Mr Darcy's character further and introduced discussion on both Mr. Collins and Mr. Wickham's character as seen so far.

We wanted to know whether the private that was flogged performed his "base" acts with a fresh headless zombie or one that had been rotting away for awhile.  Either way it was very much a WTF? moment in reading by more than one of us.

We are all greatly enjoying this book and several of us are having a hard time pacing our reading so that we don't finish it all at once.  Restraint is good.

Comments on our evenings wine.

Double Dog Dare

White Zinfandel

Michelle - Very enjoyable, smooth, nice level sweet tart were equally balanced.
Char - Enjoyable to the palate.  (She was just trying to sound snooty there.  It didn't quite work when we all laughed but those are her words.)
Liz - It tastes the same as other white/blush wines.  (I told you we weren't connoisseurs.)
Ann - A touch of sweet.  Nice and mellow.

Our next meeting will be May 2nd.  Read through page 207.  Also in keeping with audible.com's tweet.  If you were to write a book who would you want to narrate it we have set up our next activity.

**Write a micro-plot of a book with the genre and title, then tell us who you would pick to narrate this story.
