SPOILER ALERT!!! If you are not reading or planning to read Bel Ami book or script, then do not read this post or the comments. We are reading Bel Ami together and I want everyone to feel free to discuss openly. You should join us if you haven’t already! Go and catch up!!
This is my fault. I have clearly read way too much fan fiction and the way everyone was talking about this book, I thought all the sex would start right off the bat. Alas, I was wrong. ::sigh::
But that is okay. Because the book is not too bad. I like the build up of showing how down on his luck George Duroy is,
Was I the only one that pictured Duroy exactly like this, except with a mustache?!?
really a man at the bottom until he runs into his old friend and finds this whole other world. It’s almost like this little door is opened, and at this point, Duroy is just kinda peeking through. He has not turned into this guy that I know we can expect later on.
Right now, to me, Duroy is completely likable. Good looking, trying to make it, even sweet when it comes to handling the little girl, Laurine, at the dinner party. I totes had this picture of Rob holding a little girl and planting a little kiss on her forehead and I died! I have a thing for Daddy Rob, and I hope we get to see that in the movie, for sure.
I can’t figure out Madame Foriestier’s game, but inviting a man she barely knows, writing the article, smoking and wearing essentially a night gown? Hmmm… me thinks we may see something between her and Duroy as we read. In fact, I got kind of excited reading this chapter cause I really thought this was gonna be the beginning of it all, but it wasn’t. Just a big fat tease. Boo!
So far, I am having no issue picturing Rob in this role. With the few descriptions we’ve had so far of George, Rob does sound like a really good fit. Especially here in the beginning, when he seems very shy and self-depreciating. Many of the things he says, I can picture Rob’s face exactly. I’m not sure what the ’stache is gonna look like, and as much as I hate to say it, if that part of the book goes away, I wouldn’t be angry. I hate mustaches. Like bunches. But it is not a deal breaker. No way. Not like jorts or man-pris.
And since a book club isn’t a club without some discussion, get on down to the comments and let me know what you think so far. P.S. If you have read ahead (I almost did, but wrote this first!), then don’t talk about future happenings. Let us experience them together all at the same time! 
Super Special Note…
If you are as excited as me about the movie Bel Ami, then you need to be checking out Bel Ami Film. This is an unofficial, fan-run site for the movie, and these ladies are doing a kick ass job of staying on top of everything about the film. Follow them on Twitter for all the latest! The site is not a spoiler-free zone, but they do a pretty good job of giving fair warning on the tweets, so if you are like me and haven’t read the script, you should be okay!

Robler Keeps Us Going as We Count Down the Days!
The countdown continues….
I’m not too sure how much more of this I can handle before March 12, 35 more days of my inpatient waiting and oogling over ever little screen shot and bit of news that comes out about Remember Me. And, lookie, lookie… more screen shots from the movie. I am loving all the different Rob looks as well! Gah, still dying over here.
Why do they look so angry? Is it because Robler refuses to help her get the bike off the wall? Maybe she’s pissed that it’s March and the damn Christmas lights are still up? Or maybe they are both thinking about the time they took their collie to the State Fair to get old timey pictures done? We will never know (at least not until March 12).
I got my hands in my pockets. You got your hands in your pockets. We are two cool dudes with hands in our pockets. What’s next?
I know Robler! I, too, do not believe this little girl is old enough to be tackling Greek myths. Have you read those things? Oh, no wait… Little Ruby is trying to figure out what the hell is up with Robler’s sweatshirt, cause it is fugly. It does look soft though…
Dude, you know chicks dig musicians, right? I mean, seriously…. those veins in your arms are about to burst.
I want to comment on the fact that Rob missed the last button on the shirt, or the fact that he is carrying a murse, or even how disgusting the apartment walls seem to be. But instead, I am distracted by some weird ass poster. What the hell is that?!?
And the countdown continues….
Super awesome source for the pics!
