Even with that, you are still quite a reading prodigy!

Yeah, I asked you the same question once before -- maybe you didn't see the post.

You are a reading MACHINE!

I definitely envy your time and/or energy. Bravo! Well done!

I think Im a reading machine cause that was all I did as a kid my mom would cut off tv as punishment and so the only thing left to do was read , and now I guess it has become a habit and my husband does the dogs and I only cook dinner and start the dishwasher and the rest of the night is mine because he is absorbed in tv he does nt mind .

I finished The Help today. I enjoyed reading it, but I can't say it blew me away or anything.

I'm going to re-start Operation Mincemeat next. I got a couple chapters in a few months ago but had to return it to the library before I got much further. I liked what I'd read so much, though, that I immediately bought myself a copy to read in the future. That future is now!
