Oops, I did it again
My friend Mare, aka Watermelon, called me today and shouted, "What have you done to me?" I was shocked, what in hell was she talking about? "You told me to read Outlander and now I CAN'T STOP."
Oh. That. Ok, you're right and I apologize for stealing your life.
About three years ago, I convinced my father to try the Outlander novels by Diana Gabaldon. My father loved to read even more than I do, but I also knew this type of story may not be his cup of tea. I loaned him the first two books in the series (about 1,000 pages each) and hoped he would at least give the first book a reasonable try -- say, two hundred pages-- before making up his mind.
Four days later he called me, completely frantic. "Jennifer, you've got to get over here. I only have 300 pages left in the second book and I'm afraid to run out. You have to bring me the other ones!"
I'm telling you, the story is that good.
And now poor Watermelon is caught up in it as well. I think I can safely assume she'll have read the whole series before July 28 rolls around....which is important, because she & I have Harry Potter issues, too!
