I emerge!

3:41 pm the next day -- not too bad for 449 pages! And I was so proud of myself I actually solved a few of the puzzles BEFORE they characters did! I'm not a puzzle master, but boy do I love them. I have a Hal 9000 in my hand, remember? (The Grand Synthesizer, named after the computer in 2001 A Space Odyssey.)

What a fun read :) Went to Harry's Family Restaurant -- a lovely 24-hour coffee shop/diner and read there for awhile and had a terrific dinner of scrambled eggs and fried zucchini... slept for tiny bit and finished that sucker. Fun!

Now I can open the book Viv gave me for my birthday: SECRETS of the DaVinci Code! hehehe

But first... gotta run some errands before the post office closes! Darn that real life stuff gets in the way! LOL
