I'm central time so for me it starts at 7am. That's cool and no where near as complicated as yours. <br /><br />It is cool that so many of us with so much distance will be reading together, almost like a virtual family gathering. I haven't totally decided what I want to read, although I am including Xingu by Edith Wharton due to its thinness. Someone said it was 48 pages and it's a free Kindle download. :) <br /><br />Happy Reading!
