Get My Read On
It looks like I’m going to have to step it up a notch in terms of how long it takes me to read the Da Vinci Code. It seems that someone has decided to put a recall on the book, so it’s now due back at the end of this month.
I suppose it’s not that big a deal, since that still gives me 2 weeks to read it, but I guess it’s just the principle. I kinda liked knowing that I had until the end of October. ;)
I do know it’s possible though to read it in a day or weekend. Ivette read it in a weekend, and Steve decided to read it all in a few hours (partly to show me up ;) ) So, I know it can be done. The only problem is how easily I can get sidetracked with internet stuff.
I guess I will just have to focus. Maybe I can finish it tonight—it IS an interesting book (even though Kevin finds it to be merely mediocre).

I was very impressed, because I just couldn’t put it down, except to get water :Þ

Oh yea… One annoying thing is that the puzzles were way to easy to solve. I found myself solving each one like a hundred pages before the characters which was fairly annoying…
