And you know, you will pay for this bookpushing, I am considering proper revenge right now ;)

Aaahhh! I'm terrified now! ;) Well, just to cover my backside, I'll tell you that you're welcome to put it off even further, if you'd like - PDB could send it back to me and I'll pass it on when Mount Doom is a bit shrunk. But there's really no problem whatsoever however long it stays with you - if anyone else would like it I can pop them in before you. Plus it's short stories - you can read a page of many (or all!) of them and then give up and move on to the next. ;)
