"The page of The Grapes of Wrath I've read this week."

That's big news if I recall correctly?

Um, please try to comment on at least one comment of mine per year, please.

Sorry about that! I read page two today, so I should finish it in 2011.

OK. It's a deal.

Oh, wait. I misread that, or misunderstood just long enough to write my comment. I thought you were saying you'd comment back to me again in 2011. But you were talking about your Grapes of Wrath reading speed. So, there's hope that I will get another response comment before 2011. Phew.
