LOL I went through all my tranactions to see which I had sent and which I ordered . Thats how I came up with the amount.

If we were on a quest to see how many we have finished, I think the members here at PBS would be in the lead.

Would the Grand prize be a bicycle or  maybe a computer like they do for the little kids and teens who join up for the Summer Reading program here in NC

I am... Reading is fun for me.. I read at home, I read at work on my breaks. So you could say, I have a book in my hand, or very near to me. LOL and if I go to dr appointments, I have one there 2.

When I am off of work, i usually will go through 1-2 a night.

I never go anywhere without "reading material".  This is the 3rd year I have been keeping track of the numbers of books and pages.  As of this evening I have completed 44 books/14,800 pages in 2008.  Five more books and I will top my reading for 2007.

Not as many as some of you but I'm not complaining.
