I had to wait two and a half months to get it from the library. I just ordered the one you recommended. Maybe it won't take so long if it is out in paperback, now.Norma Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16012021195725446402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-25471240649380882352010-03-01T12:46:14.406-08:002010-03-01T12:46:14.406-08:00OK, I just downloaded a Kindle sample from Amazon,...OK, I just downloaded a Kindle sample from Amazon, but I seem to read slower with each year that passes, so it will probably take me three months to read such a large book that apparently doesn't allow skimming. ;-)Buzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820913066052044418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-57910412521999266332010-03-01T02:31:13.566-08:002010-03-01T02:31:13.566-08:00I too am surprise that you have time to read but g...I too am surprise that you have time to read but good books do draw us in. I have one started at the moment and another being sent for me to review. If I ever get time to finish those I will take a look at this one. <br /><br />Do you have a secret to finding the time to read?SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-5479271429569551342010-02-28T17:46:37.759-08:002010-02-28T17:46:37.759-08:00Hahaha DJ, that's also my favorite line "...Hahaha DJ, that's also my favorite line "Missing In Action", 'cos I often do too!

It could be weeks before I get to anything new!

Like you, once I get my nose in a good book, nothing, short of a real emergency, such as house on fire, husband suffering a serious health issue, can pull me away from it. Then, if the house were on fire, I could read while firemen are putting it out; same applies to a husband emergency, read while waiting. lol The next time I'm in Austin, I'll look for a copy.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07393428886240353218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-21755295179585880242010-02-28T11:21:03.967-08:002010-02-28T11:21:03.967-08:00I will have to add that to my upcoming reading lis...I will have to add that to my upcoming reading list.
