Book of the Month

So I made the goal this year to read 15 books.  I am happy to report that today I finished my 12th book for the year.  The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett.  Such a great book.  I already loved The Maltese Falcon and thought I would give this a try.  Hammett did not disappoint.  Great characters, great plot and I did not figure it out until the end.  I love books that keep me guessing and this one did.  Maybe someone more attuned would have figured it out earlier, but I loved the suspense.  All in all, I give it a 10.

In other news, the school year started with a great big bang.  Time seems to slip by me without ever finishing all I need to do.  For instance, I need to have a book read by tomorrow for a project meeting with my partner.  I have finished approximately 50 of its 250 pages.  I have a full day of work and not much time otherwise.  So I guess that instead of grading papers, I will be reading.  At least the book is interesting!   So if you don't know already, I started grad school, hence the project.  I do not know what I was thinking, but I do know that I can get it done and its okay to not get all As.  I was very happy with the B+ on my first paper.  Gosh I have changed since high school.  That's a good thing!
