So rightly I should have whizzed through it by now. But alas it dropped down the 'pecking order'. I'm sure we'll both get through it though, sometime during the year! Also don't feel too bad about the 'free book offer'. It's not something that happens too often in the UK either Anyway whatcha' reading this for? You could have ticked off a Darwinian page or two by now *grins* Speak soon Rob Nicki – I had started reading “Beagle” on my Sony Reader until this hard copy of the book came along.

I've never heard of anything like that here. Also, I'm a little glad that you just got your copies - makes me feel better about the fact that I've only read the introduction and first chapter and then stalled for two and a half weeks. ;) That’s very cool that The Guardian is giving away free books – especially Darwin!

Good luck with your Darwinian reading project too. As much as the thought of reading <i>Origin of the Species</i> pains me, it sounds like you have a beautiful copy of it there. Warmest Rob Kristen – make sure you do root me on because I’m likely to procrastinate over it.

Good luck with your Darwinian reading project too. As much as the thought of reading Origin of the Species pains me, it sounds like you have a beautiful copy of it there.
