    I read very little during January; I think I read more articles online than books. I did manage to watch a few plays of Chekhov, does that count? I also read "The Little Prince"...I love that little book.
    I've read She...a long time ago though. Treasure of the Lake is fantastic, I still have just a little bit left to finish - I just haven't been able to pick it up to finish it!
