Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

[louisev]

*While you were all watching fireworks and having cookouts*

Pastorfred and Daniel and I had a lovely afternoon (for me, evening) yesterday together.  We have managed to successfully seduce Daniel into reading "Taking Chances" and he dutifully got up to  Chapter 13 before realizing he would have to leave for work and we promised the story would be there for him to obsess about later.

For those of you reading for the first time or going back and reading, it was very interesting to see what vitally important detail Daniel picked up on the first bounce at the scenes in the Rose Hotel:

He said "Uh oh, Ennis left Jack's journal in the bathroom."

Last night, I was reading Chapter 48 (A couple) - where Dupree comes over for dinner chez E&E ...
I had the TV on, and then I heard ... "Coming to theatres July 14th:  You, Me & Dupree", and I turned around so quick I was dizzy.  My immediate thought was ... "OMG!  A movie about Ennis, Ellery and Dupree!" 

Louise, you have created a monster - as if most things werent already getting me to think BBM, now I am reminded of the Laramie Saga all the time ..lol.  I was on the bus this morning and this really cute blond guy came on with his tight white tank on, and all I could hear was Dupree's comment about 'blonds being more popular at the Stallion' ... 

Thankfully, I am not the only obsessed one ... phew!

Okay gang I am home, making spaghetti again and idling in chat if anyone is around to chat.

Thanks for the newest chapter Louisev!

I put my comments on the other page so as not to post Spoilers here.   

[louisev]

awww I didnt want anyone to have to stifle discussion.

I guess we need to sort of deal with that somehow.  Since this thread is for discussion of the trilogy and people are at various places in it, how should we deal with spoilers?

Hey, A couple of points on discussion, spoilers, etc...
1.  I think its fair to all to announce possible spoiler at the top of the text. Then skip a few lines and start your post.  If someone doesn't want to know they will move on. This is pretty much protical on most Soap sites. 
2. To Louise's credit, there is such a body of work, unless someone is just afew chapters behind, would someone acutally remember relevant details when read out of context of the story? 
Thoughts?
