I read slower than you

There's not much point in this report. I'm still reading Reamde in bed and The Hundred Thousand Fools of God in the bathtub. It will take me forever to read these.

I'm still reading Reamde in bed and The Hundred Thousand Fools of God in the Bathtub.

I like it better parsed this way.

Granted, it does mess up the parallel construction of your sentence. In the bathtub.

I like that notion too.

Fortunately for me, the latter book isn't really about religion, it's about traditional musicians.

Someday I am going to pick up Les Miserables and Moby Dick and then I will be in the same boat.

You're going to read in a boat?

Moby Dick would be the more appropriate of the two for the tub, I suppose.

I did leave "boat" in there on purpose. :)

I figured.

Though in Les Mis I don't think anybody's ever actually in a boat -- I read it way long ago so every detail I encounter is a surprise now.
I should reread it . . .

tell me when you get around to it, we can do it together.
