Vicki will be pleased to have you join in the discussion - not too much longer (smile)

[Pradeep]

Reading. Seems to be better than the last one in the series - October Horse.

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

Hi Pradeep - try to stay with the weekly syllabus assignments above. Dates are given above and don't forget to do the citation. (smile)

Pradeep glad you are joining in from Sri Lanka. Have you gotten that Kindle or IPad yet? (smile)

[Pradeep]

Bently, I got some new books recently. Paper smells great! Is the IPad with smell facility out yet?

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

No Pradeep but being able to get books instantly through the air waves is very in with the iPad and the Kindle; and if you Travel with the weight restrictions the way they are the cost of going over that weight outweighs the advantages of the real books - I can easily do without the smell facility. (smile)

I love books too but unfortunately they do not travel well these days.

[Pradeep]

Agreed!
