I do wish I had more time to read.

Most of my time seems to be spent moving around and creating emails for other people, that and studying the economy, and the like.

It's good to see this going on. I haven't read half these books, and I'm sure they will open (and re-open) doors in the mind for a lot of people if they go along.

time isn't a problem but concentration is atm :(

hope this book club goes well though :)
