lol, never thought about filing for an extension - but wish I had :)

[Katharina]

Thanks. I really had to push myself to finish on time this month. My last book in this challenge, Testimony of Two Men, was about the size of 2 books. But it was really good and Dr. Ferrier's personality and dialogue reminded me strongly of Dr. House on Tv. Although this book was written in the 60's and takes place around 1900. It did only drag occasionally when the author got a bit carried away with description.

[Crystal S]
