Thanks! Snagging. I used to have a Leona Naess album - first one I think.
Anyway, owe you a long email - coming this week. Miss you.
Also, you are evil - because of you, my goodreads.com "to read" list is ridiculous long - because you read so fast and I trust your taste and opinion so much, I add anything you give four stars or above. (We've got that Michael Harvey book "The Chicago Way" in the store, and I've been eye-ing it for sometime. But I try not to buy books from work, and to use the library instead. Therefore, I am backed up. Also, because my reading speed can no longer keep up with the magnitude of my book lust and my need to keep up with several genres at once. Sigh).

sorry, lady -- i'll try to read slower! (you're just lucky that the chpl is so slow on buying new ya lit, or it'd be even more. i can tear through seven or eight ya novels in a weekend if i'm feeling industrious. *grin*)

*grin*

don't go slower on my account :) Maybe *I'm* just slowing down - working my way through a few books at a time (non-fic takes me a lot longer), and not whipping through as much fiction. Perhaps I'm reading with more attention or something.

I used to read 1,000 pages a weekend, easy - but of course, that was when I was more depressed and hiding from the world. I still hide from the world in my house, and feather my nest with books, shoring them up against the apocalypse, but I find there's more to do in my house than just read (chores, projects, improvements, etc. Oh, and a pretty awesome husband).

Let's call it a good thing.
