I agree, and have definitly learned that, but usually there's a difference in that people will do what they say they're going to do.

As for books, there's the 5 harry potter books (started the first in minnesota, figure I should keep on) and the 3 lotr books - as you recall I finished the first one this past winter. I was in a "boxed set" mood. But I'm currently reading "the five people you meet in heaven" which my brother gave me to read.
