    Hi.

    Having finished my studies I'm keen on jumping into a book. I will be available to read and discuss.

    I'm voting for Blindness, a book that has been staring at me from my bookshelf for a while. Having not read Saramago yet I'm pretty eager to dip into one of his novels and see what all the fuss is about.

    No problem. I'd really like to read Saramago. I've heard nothing but good things.
