Thanks everyone:-) Mshj - I'm lucky to read very quickly (an average MMP takes me between 2 and 3hrs, although classics are usually longer to get through, lol). I also have a light courseload this year, I only run an hour a day, and my job is fairly flexible (I'm a part-time substitute teacher for elementary school).. Whenever I'm not with my bf or friends, I'm reading.. But then again, my life seems a lot easier than yours... I think that if I had a full-time job and two kids I wouldn't even be able to read one book a day.. So kudos to you:-D
(BTW, some of those thirty books, like Steinbeck and Solzhenitsyn are only 100-150p, lol..)
BTW, Congrats Autumn, DG, Mandy and Katherine!

Oh, well, there ya go! LOL I always look for the numbers. Sometimes all the lines and crosses out confuses me. Maybe I'm not cut out for this job, even though it's not supposed to be too challenging! LOL
