South Of Broad
by Karie on Dec.01, 2009, under Books
Dine and Opine’s book of choice this month is South of Broad by Pat Conroy. I myself am quite interested in reading this for the sole purpose to see how Charleston is depicted in the story. I love Charleston, so I don’t want my view tainted!! LOL. I am not very far in the book at the moment. Just in the first chapter or so, however I hope to be able to dedicate a few hours to the book tonight. I thought that I was going to get ready done over Thanksgiving and our trip to visit Family…. HAHA.. boy was I wrong about that! I hope that you girls are enjoying the book. Let me know your thoughts!!

I haven’t even purchased the book yet but have it on my schedule for tomorrow. Should be able to dedicate lots of weekend reading time in order to finish by next week! Don’t forget “beach reading” book exchange next week everyone. Holiday book club always proves to be fun…can’t wait to find out our restaurant pick. BTW, there is an excerpt from South of Broad in Southern Living from a couple months ago if anyone wants to check it out…knew the title sounded familiar for some reason! I’ll blog more when I finally get the book!

Looking forward to it.

Started out slow for me too. Flowery language is a bit over the top, but I’ve grown much more fond of it. About 100 pages to go…think I’ll be finished by tomorrow night. Looking forward to it too.
