Me too! I love this challenge because I really focus on reading stuff that I own so it helps me clear my shelves. In the process I'm on book #5 for the month, which is the highest amount of books I've read in a month all this year.

I am reading fast because I can't do anything else. I had knee replacement surgery 4 weeks ago and with the dearth of things on tv (except World Cup soccer) I am pretty much housebound. At least with my books I can "go" somewhere!

[Chris]

Linda, sorry to hear that you are still limited in your mobility s/p knee replacement. Just think once rehab & PT done, you'll feel so much better. Happy reading!

Thank you, Chris. Every day of my rehab is better. I actually went to the grocery store today for the first time in 2 months. I hadn't been going before the surgery because it hurt too badly. I am going to look back fondly on my "summer of books".

Thanks it helps when I had some really good books that I did not want to put down...audiobooks also help as well...
