As someone who hasn't read a whole book, end to end, in maybe 14 months, 4 days (coincidence?)... holy shit! That's a lot of books.

And your "entertainment" reading? I dunno... many of them don't sound so entertaining to me.

Good luck to you! I hope you'll be able to carve out time for one last pre-school-moms'-night-out.

I've been slowly working my way through Raising Cain. it's offering some interesting insights; just trying to get through the whole book before I really assess it, though.
