If you have something you've really looked forward to, what do you do, jump right in, or save it for a rainy day?

I only ask because I have a new book, called Michael Tolliver Lives. It's the latest, and final part, of the series of books written by Armistead Maupin, entitled Tales of the City, and I've waited eighteen long years to find out how it all ends.

I must have mentioned before that I love the books about life at Barbary Lane in San Fransisco, because one of our members, who lives in that part of the world, pm'd me to tell me of it's publication, the same day that I saw the review myself in the Sunday Times.

A week after ordering the book, from the very nice lady in Smith's, the book's in my possession, and I'm in a quandry. Do I have an early night, and probably finish it in one sitting, or should I just enjoy that I now have the final chapter to all these characters lives, and save reading it for my holiday in Zante.

Decisions, decisions.

Do you save things that you've looked forward to, or jump right in and enjoy them?
