Weren't you supposed to read around 75 pages in a week :P..but I know! It turned out to be pretty readable as opposed to my perception. Also I'm unabashedly using Wallace wiki, which is a great help else I wouldn't have known that (view spoiler)[My head is filled with things to say is a referrence to beatles song (hide spoiler)]

That is great Kris. This is my first group read and I'm so nervous excited!

haha! Oh Kris, I read clearly what you mentioned there, but I'm like that spoilt kid who do what they are told not-to-do! But from now on I'll mind my actions.
