Truth be told, the book I'm reading now by Casanova doesn't even have 123 pages. It has 110. What makes it worse is that it wasn't even the closest book to me at the time I read Daryl's post - that was Allott's Biology for the IB Diploma Guide. (So that means I cheated twice! Oh no.)

So instead I'm using Charles D'Ambrosio's' The Dead Fish Museum, of which I have read 2 of the short stories contained within (so I counts as something I'm still reading - right?).
