Any book I read would be longer than the last one you read. It was relatively short...only 354 pages.
That would take me months to read...LOL

[QUOTE=BIGKEN;17366748]Howdy Rick...I saw you and your lovely bride in Roy's JGG Thread...it's obvious you got the better end of that deal!!!

Thanks Ken, you're so kind.

I'll never live long enough to figure out why she took me home to meet her parents.

I'm not taking her back home now.
