LitChat: 'Special Topics in Calamity Physics'

This may not be a public service, but I do think it's amusing... my friend and I are such bookaholics that even our IM conversations revolve around novels:

Belladjour (1:37:12 PM): I am having major focus issues.

Belladjour (1:37:21 PM): but maybe that's where the latte comes in.

Belladjour (1:37:33 PM): oh! and finally finished calamity physics.

Belladjour (1:37:37 PM): sooooo satisfying

Belladjour (1:37:49 PM): just like a really good nutritionally defensible meal

Belladjour (1:38:03 PM): where one hasn't pigged out

Editrixter (1:38:09 PM): LOL

Editrixter (1:38:29 PM): you bought into the plot near end? I had hard time w/it

Belladjour (1:38:42 PM): the nightwatchmen?

Editrixter (1:39:01 PM): yeah

Belladjour (1:40:52 PM): no book babe in training -- no matter her crank of a father -- would've turned aside a guy who could do a dance routine AND had his own JMW Turner

Editrixter (1:41:06 PM): Strue

Belladjour (1:41:07 PM): oh! and I also had issues with the mom as suicide

Belladjour (1:41:24 PM): I saw her more as one of the group murders. why wasn't that the more likely outcome

Editrixter (1:41:28 PM): Was weird. I kept believing father killed her

Belladjour (1:41:37 PM): me too. or Hannah

Belladjour (1:42:18 PM): but Hannah was not nearly as enchanting as made out to be
