What's next issybird?
I'm thinking about reading challenges for next year, and a strong contender is to reread books I last read in adolescence (mainly classics) so I can see what I missed in them, before I hit my rapidly approaching dotage. I don't think I'd bother with FLW, though.

poohbear hasn't passed on this, but I'll go ahead anyway.
