: : !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chapter 15!!!!!
: : And I thought I was doing really well to get to chapter 9 so far...of course only what, 2 nights and a bit have passed in the book; Mr. Cooper does take his time (238 pages to be exact!)(and the night vision of these guys had to be great; glad to know they didn't need glasses!).....but will try to get to Chapter 15 as soon as I can.
: : However, Gayle, I will finish this book; no matter how long it takes me....

: Hi Jo,
: Don't feel bad. I'm on Chapter 9 too. If they get too far ahead of us, we'll just have to have our own little book group for slow readers.
: : As far as the Sherman Alexie book which I thought we were reading; "Indian Killer"; got that finished in a few days....what is it? "Reservation Blues" we are supposed to be reading??? Oh, darn, another trip to the bookstore....
: Well, I got into "Reservation Blues" and finished the whole thing. There never were very many comments on the board about it. What did you think of "Indian Killer?" I thought it was way too dark, and not typical of Alexie's other works, to be used for a first introduction.

Chris,
Well, at least I am not the only one (Hey, Collin, what chapter are you on these days....???)
Indian Killer??? How did I feel about it?? Kinda unsure; sort of still wondering exactly why the main character did what he did and all of a sudden just walked off the building....I may have missed something; however, I did finish it; and did like the writing. Now, if that main character could have talked as much as the Deerslayer; Hurry or Hutter.....maybe there would have been more insight...

Oh~ good morning Chris and Bill!
