Thank you for doing this, Laureen, much appreciated!

Like Elizabeth, I'm also about three quarters of the way through. I'm similarly struggling with the book, but in a way I've not experienced before.

When I am reading I literally cannot put the book down, but once I've stopped reading I struggle for enthusiasm to start again. I think that her writing captivates me but perhaps the actual story doesn't compel me to drop whatever I'm doing to go and read another chapter.

Still, an enjoyable book so far!

This looks like an interesting insight into modern Antarctica - Big Dead Place: Inside the Strange and Menacing World of Antarctica. http://antarctica.kulgun.net/Books/an...

Book arrived in the post today, so shall begin reading it shortly. As I will most probably have to order each book from the internet, is there any chance we could hold the poll for next month's book slightly earlier? Thanks, Chris
