I can only manage it because it's my slowest time of year for work. We'll have fun reading Bleak House too! I'm sure next year the readalongs will continue so you won't be missing much. I may try to convince some people to read Don Quixote with me (but not until after tax season). That one has been on my shelf and taunting me for a few years.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343557750428307066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158601836174551552.post-90797944422936851262012-11-05T13:58:31.576+00:002012-11-05T13:58:31.576+00:00Thanks Ana.
