Weeeellll - I'm keeping a spreadsheet on who is reading whichever number. I posted some stats at message #458 on 19 April, but I stupidly left my spreadsheet at work so I won't be updating those stats until Wednesday (unless I get bored...).

I loved Firefly Lane as well ... a lot to absorb, and I don't know if I'd want to read it again but it was certainly a page turner and thought provoking as well.
