Hi Mara

Thank you for your warm welcome! Don't you just itch when you have lots of great things to read? I find it very difficult to read one book at the time at the best of times but when this happens its impossible for me! Despite my piling book tendency and my love for and great joy for reading a bit of everything, I do envy people who can sit and read one book at a time and FINISH it! I have developed a bad habit now of just not finishing any book I'm reading. I find I normally stop at around the chapter 4 or 5 - just before half way through. This is begining to frustrate me particularly when people start talking about the book and I feel inept to join in the conversation because I just haven't read enough of the book. This has just happened to me regarding the "life of Pi". I started a book club with friends to "shame" me into finishing books but my friends often didn't finish the books either (they all have babies) so that didn't really work. Now I have piles of health books next to my bed and I seem to be using them more as reference material rather than reading materials so they are very much being swapped between depending on the topic I'm looking into.

Great to chat with you Mara and good luck with your study - by the way what are you studying?

cheers, Janet
