    My book group is reading The Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline for November. I just finished it and really enjoyed the book. It is a novel but it’s based on the real Orphan Trains that ran from 1855 until about 1929. I honestly had no idea that the Orphan Trains had existed.

    Tks – always looking for a good read. I’ve just finished Gillian Flynn’s “Sharp Objects” and am now reading “Gone Girl”, not to everyone’s liking, her writing is dark – very and images stay with you, but she has a writing style that I enjoy.

    I couldn’t stand any of the characters in “Gone Girl” and couldn’t figure out who the author expected me to sympathize with. I sympathized with none of them.

    What can I say Kilroy? I am only at the beginning of the book and reading it based on reviews and my having been fascinated with Flynn’s other book Sharp Objects. So far I like the juxtaposition between the character’s chapters. Recommending books, films, etc., it’s so personal.

    E-mailed comment from Kilroy for she had difficult time getting back into TDK Forum:
    Will someone please tell Katzenjammer from me that I wasn’t being critical in the book thread, just expressing an opinion? I don’t want her to think I was slamming her. 🙂 Purrs…

    Hope that you can read this Kilroy, if not JK will you do me the honour of getting this reply to her? tks!

    No worries Kilroy. It’s just a book we’re discussing after all. Long story short, after my spin class at the gym one person says the music is the best of all time, a second one says they 100% hate it and a third says can their personal top 10 be played. No worries … absolutely. We’re good 🙂 Purrs back.

    Thanks for playing messenger, JK 🙂

    KJ, you spin? I recently went back to the gym after a long time off & am trying to work my way back up to where I think I could survive a spinning class, because when I was doing it regularly I LOVED it.

    Kilroy, I absolutely love spinning. Pretty much overdo it 6x/week intense, don’t bike outside however, so I guess I’m going nowhere fast! Certified to teach, but don’t would turn pleasure into pressure, mainly from the fussy participants (cf previous post). Was going to post in CafĂ© but what you’re going through re pain seems horrifying and frustrating. I truly hope that your docs can figure out something and soon, so that eventually you can get back on a bike. Take good care.
