Nobody puts Jim in a corner!

Holla cool cats! Guess who finally finished the book!
Once again, I apologize for my lateness, but I intend to power through The Road in the next 4 days so NO BIG DEAL.
I also finally read your posts on Treasure Island...

Since yall pretty much said what I mostly thought in regards to the ending...reletively anti-climactic. Silver is even 'helped' to escape, he doesn't even sneak off on his own which I found disappointing.
On Muppet Treasure Island, this is the moment where Jim discovers Silver escaping and lets him go...and then Smollet (Kermit) says "well done Jim" and I get teary eyed....I was hoping for that...

I did take note of the quotes that stood out to me in this second half though, just for fun:

• “All round the hull, in the blackness, the rippling current bubbled and chattered like a little mountain stream”
  -This happens when Jim is trying to board the Hispanola at night, and I found that Stevensons descriptions of actions that happened at night were way more interesting than those during the day. Maybe that's just a preference.
  
  
• "We made a curious figure, had anyone been there to see us –all in soiled sailor clothes and all but me armed to the teeth. Silver had two guns slung about him –one before and one behind –besides the great cutlass at his waste ad pistol in each pocket of his square-tailed coat. To complete the his strange appearance, Captain Flint sat perched upon his shoulder and gabbling odds and ends of purposeless sea-talk. I had a line about my waist and followed obediently after the sea-cook, who held the loose end of the rope, now in his free hand, now between his powerful teeth. For all the world, I was led like a dancing bear”
  -For some reason I especially liked this description of those ragamuffin pirates, and I think if any 'deeper' sort of study could be done on this book, the exsistance of "Captain Flint", the bird, on the shoulder of Silver, would be prime.
  
  
• “Nobody minds Ben Gunn”
  -Poor guy, he really reminds me of a wet blanket or something pittiful like that.
  But the main thing I liked about this quote was that the first thought that popped into my head after reading was "Nobody puts Baby in a corner".

And that was that! Thanks for being patient with me : )
Just to clarify, are we starting a new book next month, or have we extended the finish date for The Road. And if so, TyTy...what's the book choice?
