Mmm. ^__^

I read this book for the first time pretty recently and heartily enjoyed it. I'll have to look in here when I get a little more ahead of my backlog (or a little more restless, whichever comes first ^_~ ).

Hey, I'll take 4 and 5, unless you have started recording them already, then I'll take whatever chapters are next.

Would it be too greedy of me to ask for 22 and 23? These contain some of my husband's and my favorite passages.

Please, please! Chapters 34-38! I know it's a lot and I'm a chapter hog, but I get the positive chills every time I read the end of this book...

It may take several weeks, but I'll get them all done.

Nobody seems to get it around here, that we like greediness! They're yours

I'd like to give chapter 3 a try. It looks lonely there all by itself. If all goes well perhaps I'll get greedy too.

It's so wonderful that you're doing this book. I first read it when I was 16 and thought it was brilliant. It's been on my 'I really must read this again' list for years now. So many books, so little time. Anyway, great choice.

Thanks Kristin

I think it's a great book too.

Every time I see your (my) name it trips me up.

By the way, you have a wonderful voice
