You picked one of my books! I signed up so late I didn't think they would get read. I hope you find it as interesting as I did.

Yep Juli, I sure did :) It's about time I read up on some Science, seeing as I work in the industry! I have read the first couple of chapters a few times, but I always put it down and never finish it for some reason. I think it needs reading in a few days so you keep track of where you are up to.

Looking forward to giving it another go...
