In the sequel to her beloved Six of One, Rita Mae Brown returns with another witty tale of passion and rivalry in the small Southern town of Runnymede, Maryland. Newspaper editor Nickel Smith is scrambling to save the local paper from corporate extinction, even as she is engaged in an affair that would shock the town as much as it amazes Nickel herself. Meanwhile, her mother, Julia, and her aunt Louise, the infamous Hunsenmeir sisters, who've set the town on its ears for decades, keep an eagle eye on Nickel. No matter that she's a grown woman and that they're going on ninety; they need someone to gossip about! Not even the town's weekly bingo games can keep Louise and Julia out of trouble when Ed Tutweiler Walters, an eligible newcomer, arrives in town--and has the sisters fighting over him like schoolgirls. A telling look at the foibles of modern relationships, Bingo is full of wisdom about the comforts, trials, and absurdities of small-town life and especially of our own nearest and dearest.… (más)

ok, so i really don't like rita mae brown's writing, but i do respect what she tries to do. i just don't like her stories or how she writes at all. the conclusion that i've come to is that, to me, she writes like she's trying too hard. she has a lot to say, and i definitely don't agree with all of those things, but i do think a novel is a noble way to do that. i just don't think that she does it remotely well. it's obvious that she's really smart and knowledgeable and i think that she's just trying to write in a way that shows that, and it falls flat.

that said, here is a sentence that i liked:

"Anyway, I think the reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself." ( )

Not in the same leauge as Six for One which was priceless but an entertaining read all the same. The only thing that bugged me is how Nickel went from architecture (in Six of One) to a newspaper reporter iwth a whole lot of tradition behind it unmentioned previously, ( )

Well, the Hunsenmeir sister (Louise and Julia ) did it again! Part two of the tale of two sisters living in Runnymade, a town split apart by the Mason - Dixon Line. Much older but none the wiser, these two 'funny old birds' still need a referee to keep them from catfighting.
As usual, Nickel (Julia's daughter) is trying to keep these two out of each others hair and out oft her social live - which is practically nonexistend, since she's an acclaimed lesbian and in Runnymade that's about as sinful as it get get.... Bingo is the sequel of my all time favourite 'Six of One'.
Six of one ( )

The queens of contention are the octogenarian Hunsenmeir sisters (introduced in Six of One ), who slug it out with repartee and second-childhood antics when both fall in love with visiting widower Ed Tutweiler Walters. Nickel Smith, daughter and niece of the Hunsenmeir sisters, has reached her late 30s with well-defined roles in the community: as a respected journalist for the Clarion and as a tacitly accepted (read discreet) lesbian. But Nickel's history comes unraveled when she falls into an affair with her best friend's husband, and the newspaper is sold to big-money interests. Along with sketches of zany homegrown characters, Brown offers unpredictable plot resolutions that reinforce her reputation as a writer unafraid of new directions. Similar to, although not as much fun as, Six of One , this is vintage Brown nevertheless. ( )
