Rooftoppers was such a pleasure. How fun that we're reading the same books!

Just got Wolf Wilder from the library as well so our reading is overlapping this week! I listened to part of Quiet on audio and really liked it in that format--lots there to think about. It definitely helped me understand why I usually want to hibernate when I'm home. My work is intensely social and requires quite a lot of extraversion!
