The Middlesteins

Many thanks for the March Book Club copy of 'The Middlesteins' which has just dropped through my letterbox. I heard some of it on R4 Book at Bedtime so it will be good to fill in the chapters which I missed. I will report back on my impressions!!!! Thanks again.

Me too. Thanks!

Many thanks for my copy which has just arrived.I'm looking forward to starting it this afternoon.

Thanks for my book, which arrived today. I have only just finished enjoying State of Wonder so am looking forward to reading this one. I am always so pleased when I get one of your free books and they are much appreciated - I pass them on to my mother who lives in sheltered accomodation and they then get passed around. Achilles was greatly enjoyed by everyone. These are the type of book that I would not normally buy as I tend to stick to my favourite authors, so gransnet is expanding my reading horizons.

Thank you very much for my book which arrived this morning. I'll put it on the top of my reading pile!

And thanks from me too. It was on the doormat when I got home this afternoon and I'm looking forward to starting it. Will take it with me when I go to Scotland on Saturday.

Ah, that's where it came from! Thank you very much. Currently not much time for reading and have started something huge but will read this next.

My copy also arrived today so very many thanks, I will look forward to reading it but only 100 pages into Wolf Hall so another 500 to go first!

Thank you for my copie. I have read the first chapter s I got hooked after the first page, in spite of the fact I am reading Eloise!!
Anno enjoy your trip to Scotland, it is very cold!!!

You'll need your fur drawers, anno!

My copy came this afternoon. Thank you, looking forward to reading it.

Mine arrived today too
Thank you! A lovely surprise to come home to.

Ooooh, I thought you were being cheeky about the Middletons!

Mine arrived this morning. Thank you, Gransnet.

You mean it's NOT abour the Middletons??

Thank you for my new book, came today.

I enjoyed this book, read it on a long haul plane journey. As one who has issues with food and weight control...see food and eat it, finish everything on my plate, food as reward, happiness food, can eat even when not hungry... I found it deeply interesting. In the end only Edie could stop Edie eating but as it was her only joy in life that was never going to happen. Although not in Edie's league, I long to be slim. I know what to do. Lately I've been wondering if I actually want to enjoy eating more than I want to look gorgeous, but I do want to be healthy and live longer. I think Edie had even given up on that in her obsession.
Upbringing and training as a child definitely have a large part to play, as does the emotional state and it's very hard to break bad habits. I was careful with my children growing up and all are slim adults. I wish my mother had done me the same favour. One question: why Jewish?

My book arrived this morning. looking forward to reading it, will let you know what I think.
Thankyou
