Apoorv ’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I was tied up with work even on freaking new years.. but I should be able to spare time tomorrow to re-group, re-start reading and workout our strategy for the crossword puzzle.

Done Dona Done Done !

I did not know there were so many Greeks in Australia. Interesting !
Something new on New Years'

That reminds me, THE HAPPY THE NEW THE YEAR THE GUYS !
I am so glad I am ushering the new year with all of you.
Yaaaay ! :)

Shouldnt they just stick to their name and remain 'low-key' :P :P

Do you think I have it in me to not listen to you ?
I have 3 tabs open on my personal computer each with a day worth of questions.. I just havent press post. Why ? Coz of this stupid work ! :X

Thats my lame excuse ! :P

I am going to try and race Sara on the Agatha Christie book. I cant say no to Ms. Christie and I need something simple after the emotional rollercoaster I am in as I am reading Violence Begets....

Update
!! New Goal !!

Read a book with the word girl, boy, woman or man (plurals are acceptable) in the title

Sonia, we have Tamika's The Boyfriend Mandate, would boyfriend work for boy ?

You're not the boss of me :P:P:P"

I LOVE the friendly banter between the two of you. You are adorable ! ^_^

Steven wrote: "I had never heard of Coursera... just went and looked, and now I want to explore their courses. Thanks!!! :D ..."

Isnt it ? Bet you will find courses and topics you love and then its fun to work on them. Let me know if you try anything. :)

Oh, I am going to bother you for recommendations when I get in that whole Classics mode. Brace yourself !! :P

You dont just make do, T, I am pretty sure, you rock it ! :)

This Masters is in Project Management, the first one was in Biomedical Engineering.

I also intend to do a Coursera certification on English Literature sometime next year, just for the heck of it. I end up reading a lot of Contemporary books but hardly get to Classics (Sara, dont kill me !:P), so I thought that maybe if I add a curriculum to it, I may find them interesting and read more of those. This is just a thought, have to see how it works out. :)

I am starting my second Masters next month.. yaay ! So I will read textbooks again. Is it wrong that I want to read the whole damn thing in the first week itself and get us points for the challenge ? LOL !

Inspired by Mary, I guess ! :D

Only if it was Tennis, Cricket or Badminton, I would have jumped at the mention of it.

But, I dont mind taking a shot at it. I love Sports books, so let me see what Golf books I can find and get. A Tiger Woods Autobiography will be awesome ! :)

You live in Chicago and I didnt know when I was in town ?
*smacks forehead*

Now that I am close-by, I hope to visit that beautiful city more often. Hopefully, I can catch up with you the next time.

I love it.. Beth is an hour away, Tamika is four hours down the road.. Michigan is T's state.. I feel connected ! Hehe ! :)

Cat in a Book Store ? *wide kid-like eyes*
I know where I headed to the next time I am in Chicago. Thanks, Ashley ! Whats the name of the store ?

@Lobsterboy, Poseidon meet-up is a super-awesome idea. We so so so should do it. :D

Approved !! LOL ! ROFL !
I love your phone, Ashley ! *wants to laugh hysterically but puts on a professional face at work and giggles instead* :P

I get it sometimes, so no worries.
I approve of it ! :P

I want to go home and reeeeeeead !
There is hardly anyone at work and although I love the quiet, I would run home and spoon a book, if given that option.
Someone take me from here !!
