But I only have two horribly busy weeks between now and my trip to India, and then it's the last minute preparations for the wedding. So, soon as I am back, it could be among the first few books to be read.

I took forever because I didn't want it to end. <br /><br />I have The Art of Fielding, but my daughter spilled water on it so it's all rippled and crinkly. I haven't been as anxious to pick it up because of that. I have to read it though. I begged the publisher for a copy and they were kind enough to send it, so it will get read. Soon.

It sounds like if you stuck to just these for the first few months of the new year, you would have an exceptional reading time! And you weren't the only one who was scared off by the price tag of Habibi. I browsed it at the bookstore, and almost took it home, and then thought better of it.
