Well I expect the answer to that question is busy getting ready for
christmas! Except me of course cos I always leave it until the last
minute and there are still 10 days to go!

We seem to have come to a standstill at the moment. I'm still trying
to get hold of Glenn's choice and Jill has managed to start it.

What about everyone else? We also seem to be way behind in choosing -
Jill was down for October. I vote she chooses something for January
instead and perhaps we can motivate ourselves to get started again in
the new year.

Any thoughts? Anyone? lol

But here's hoping you all have a great Christmas.

Only just got round to replying to this!  That shows how busy we all are.  I did read about half of "A fraction of the whole" but I am afraid that I found it really repetitive and dreadfully boring so I gave up!  Sorry Glenn.  It's really not like me to give up on a book, I will usually struggle through to the bitter end.
 
Is everyone happy with Wendy's suggestion that we begin again in January with me choosing something as I never got round to it in October?  If that suggestion is OK with everyone then I will pick something over Christmas and post my choice before the new year.
 
All that remains to say is that I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas (no getting too merry!)  And a very happy new year.  Here's, to 2009 and happy reading.
 
Love Jilly.

Hello to all,

I feel it is forever since i read soemthing that was interesting. I now have one paper left to finish my Masters, unfortunately it is Quantitative Research Methodology so I have a few more months of reading stuff that is not only intersting, but at this moment incomprehensible!!

Once that is done I will have completed not only my MBA but also will have completed the papers I need to start my doctorate.... BUT I have decided to hold off  and have a life for a while at least.

I am hoping that Howard buys my usual books for Xmas (Dick Frnaics eh Di!) and that I have time over the holidays to read lots if trashy novels.

I look forward to Jill's choice in January and hope to have time to raed it.

In the meantime love to all- I love reading Jill and Wendy's blogs to keep up with your lives!)- see you in Janaury Di and a very Merry Christmas to all xxxx
