I guess I'll start with assigned reading. I think it's good, overall, because it forces you to read books you might otherwise pass up. Now, unlike you, I did not fall in love with John Steinbeck. But I appreciate that at least I've read some of his work. "Sister Carrie?" If not for sophomore literature class, never would have cracked the title. This has been a so-so week for reading. Started a book I hated, finished a book I loved! That was great escapism, fun espionage, <a href="http://www.geoffreygluckman.com/" rel="nofollow"> Deadly Exchange.</a> It has it all -- high-technology, spies, intrigue, danger, conspiracy, even romance. Don't miss it! So many aspects to respond to! I guess I’ll start with assigned reading. I think it’s good, overall, because it forces you to read books you might otherwise pass up.

This has been a so-so week for reading. Started a book I hated, finished a book I loved! That was great escapism, fun espionage, Deadly Exchange. It has it all — high-technology, spies, intrigue, danger, conspiracy, even romance. Don’t miss it!

The School of Essential Ingredients is in my TBR pile. Probably going to go into the "Save this for when you need to read something amazing" pile based on the reviews I've seen so far. (Am I the only person who hoards good reads like this? It's just comforting to know that when I find myself finishing a lackluster book, I can pull out something fantastic to follow it.) Hope all goes well with the conference! I had the reverse of your week — the start of the week was terrible for reading, but I got some quality time toward the end.

Hopefully you liked it. :-) Have a great time at the conference!
