Well, I've gone for Mt. Blanc again this year but I'm not too sure if I'll make it as I've decided to concentrate on a lot of books that I've been meaning to read for years...and a lot of those are BIG books. We'll see....

Well, I should've read 16 from the pile so far - this just ain't gonna happen this year as work is consuming my life. No time to read, I'm afraid.

Jonathan, sad to hear that work is taking over your life. Hopefully, it can sort out soon and give you time back for reading.

Thanks Pamela. Trying to get out of this situation. It sure does make me appreciate having the time to read though.

Sorry work took over--but great progress before that. Hope you'll have more time for reading soon!
