(Please pick whichever books you wish, as always, but I will just casually mention that there's a certain classic which you've picked for me a couple times before, and I am finally seriously planning to read it this upcoming month - so I wouldn't mind at all if you picked it again for me this time :)

If we have the opportunity for you to pick for me again, I hope that you do continue to pick "The Old Man and the Sea"! It's a good choice - I just felt compelled to make an explanation/apology for yet again choosing a different one. Each time so far I've had a reason for wanting to read one of the others first :)

Thank you, Paola.

You have picked "The Old Man and the Sea" for me 2 or 3 times now, and one of these days I will read it! But, this time, I am going with:
The Alice Network

Hello and Greetings, Paola :)
