HR challenge #1 ~ movie quotes
I got Jodi Picoult's House Rules yesterday and started reading. One thing that stands out is how many different movies are either quoted or alluded to. I challenge you to make a list of all the movies you can find as you read (or looking back over the book, if you've already finished it). Here's a start for you:

Reading House Rules
Reading House Rules, by Jodi Picoult, with Bonnie could be like reliving some of the fun we use to have together over books.

House Rules (HR) ~ by Jodi Picoult, 2010
Is anybuddy interested in reading another book together? Bookread (Lynne) is hosting a discussion on Saturday -- too soon for those of us who have not yet read the book -- but we could take a whole month to get the book, read it, and discuss it here during the month of May. Are you interested?
Here's what I'll do. First, I'll post this and notify all of you -- and you are welcome to invite your friends to take part, as well. Then we can start posting book-related things, either questions or comments or links to Jodi Picoult's interviews, that sort of thing. For now, I'll start links for this title in the sidebar, including a link that will allow you to read the first chapter. When I know a bit more, I'll post a schedule so we can do a little bit at a time, the way we used to do. I hope at least a few of you will decide to talk with us. Do you want to know the honest truth? I've missed all of you buddies!
If you are not currently authorized to post here, email me to get an invitation. My email address is:

Love,
