Haha. I am fine here, thank you. You could rather start a 'lets help N&B open a huge library' fund.

I've been living on Google Books lately :D

Currently reading Born to Run, by Christopher McDougall. First non-academic related book I've had time to read in a good nine months. I recommend it to anyone who is a runner, it's quite interesting.

Yes, I considered that. Point is, I never get enough time to spend at the computer. Because I share it with 3 other people.
I bought Heroes of the Valley! I started it, its awesome.

Seems interesting. Anyone ever taken part in their city's marathon?

I'm not sure if my city has a full marathon (26 + miles) but we do have a nice 15K.

*fails at running*

That sucks, because I was just about to suggest Project Gutenburg for non-copyrighted stuff. Maybe you'll just have to try to get better at your state language then...

Mind you I also fail at languages, so maybe I'm not qualified to suggest that...

I got Heroes out of the library a couple of weeks ago, but since that brings my library book count to umm... 28 heh, (curse you and your ridiculous limits, I am weak) it'll be awhile before I can get to it.

Reading a two hundred year old German fencing instruction book. My uncle finds the oddest things...

Errm... Is it just me, or is Stephen King stealing from The Simpsons now?

A Breach of Promise - Anne Perry

Also, some Foxtrot collection.

I would be mostly taking part in the Mumbai Marathon next year (in January). It is Asia's largest marathon. I will participate in the dream run (6 km) though there is a 42 km one too (surely, I can't run that much-doubt I would complete that 6 km one too). Will start practising from December (yeah, just one month) as exams are getting over then.

I am not too bad at languages. Know 5 & speak 3 fluently.

I think we would complete Heroes together. I only recently realized my syllabus for the exam is so vast, it would require 3 months of hard work to complete it under normal circumstances. Obviously, I am well past that & need to do the whole damn thing in 3 weeks now.

I can speak Quenya, some Sindarin, Latin, and French.

Other than Bartiforums i'm re-reading the trilogy. :D

J.R.R. Tolkien fan, huh?

Studying..studying. I got to do my microbiology portion from 15 different books. For 9 chapters. And we have to still write journals & attend practicals daily. But I have taken to bunking chem lectures. I don't think I will land in the defaulter's list though.

Finished Catch 22 - Joseph Heller

Mostly finished The Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger.

Just ordered the Complete Calvin & Hobbes. =D

I finished Heroes of the Valley! It was very nice. The characters are brilliant & the end is wonderful!
