Pascale...Actually I think I may have Obsessive Book Disorder. I admit sometimes I will not finish a book...like Moby Dick. I must finish it! Sheila...Thanks. I just made a note to get myself a copy of Siddhartha. I am now very curious and must read it! I'll let you know when I do this... Also if you don't have much time maybe you should read like a rabbit instead of at a snails pace. Just kidding. Sorry, I couldn't resist saying that :-) -Jeff :-) p.s. I am a sci-fi fan too.
