We also need to start a thread todecide what our November book will be. Thanks! </p> http://www.pinkofperfection.com/forum/topic.php?id=60#post-618 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:30:08 +0000 AmandaKate 618@http://www.pinkofperfection.com/forum/ <p>Hi, ladies! </p> <p>Can I say ladies? Are there any men reading the Elegance of the Hedgehog with us? </p> <p>So, when did you start loving Renee? Immediately? I must admit, I cringe when I think of the "Renees" I am often quick to judge only to find a hidden intellect, talent, kindness, etc. </p> <p>The publisher (Europa editions) has a great reading guide that frames this issue differently: </p> <p>"One French critic called The Elegance of the Hedgehog “the ultimate celebration of every person’s invisible part.” How common is the feeling that a part of oneself is invisible to or<br /> ignored by others? How much does this “message” contribute to<br /> the book’s popularity? Why is it sometimes difficult to show people what we really are and to have them appreciate us for it?" </p> <p>What are your thoughts? </p> http://www.pinkofperfection.com/forum/topic.php?id=60#post-561 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 21:52:58 +0000 majacobs 561@http://www.pinkofperfection.com/forum/ <p>I just started reading, and already love! Should we set a page limit to where people should read to, so no one unintentionally posts a spoiler? I'm thinking around 60 pages by October 15 -- any thoughts? </p> http://www.pinkofperfection.com/forum/topic.php?id=60#post-520 Sat, 26 Sep 2009 23:45:00 +0000 katie 520@http://www.pinkofperfection.com/forum/ <p>Got the book today! </p> http://www.pinkofperfection.com/forum/topic.php?id=60#post-493 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 04:06:19 +0000 Christine H. 493@http://www.pinkofperfection.com/forum/ <p>Oooh, exciting!
