Reading 2008
er since my failure to complete a couple of challenges last year, I gather I’m too much of a random reader to commit to and abide by any challenges.

do you like the douglas adams’s books? i can’t stand the hitchhiker one, i don’t get it at all!
and where do you get all these books to read? buy or borrow from the library?
Some I’d buy, some I’d borrow from the library. Hm, I quite like the first book of the Hitchhiker’s series, because I watched the movie first.

Nope, planning to steal a copy from a friend or something. Ha!
