Procrastinate
Pronounciation: pr&-'kras-t&-"nAt
Function: Verb
Meaning: to put off intentionally the doing of something that should be done.

Yes. It was intentional. Although I had no intention what-so-ever 2 weeks back when I started reading the book. Book or a Novel whatever you may call it, I call it "The Da Vinci Code". Was surprised by my reading speed the other day and it stuck me that @ this rate I would be done in 4-5 days, although I read it only on my way to work and back home in the evening.

But then I realised hmm what next? Finish this interesting and superb piece and you're done. The next thing I know, had ordered another one "Angels and Demons - Dan Brown" from Amazon. This has happened to me before, I mean getting so involved that I get it done pretty soon - then nothing for a week!

This time it was not meant to be. I was procrastinating by going thru each chapter cruising all along ... one by one as I read going thru each line with utmost concentration (so much so that missed my stop one day .. duh!) and understanding and new words I came across - so that I could time it just before the arrival of the Angels and Deamons. See Procrastination aint bad always :) or so I tell myself lets see ... got to the last chapter today and now I fear with the week-end approaching it might not be until Monday that I get the shipping from Amazon (dont understand why they delay the delivery so much).
O, Draconion devil !

Oh, lame saint !

But you'll find Angels and Demons the same way though!!

You are right though, damn interesting. The illustrated version eh ? hmmm
