The book was placed on Astrid's desk and she opened to the table of contents letting her eyes skim down the list. Nothing there would be to taxing and she knew reading a chapter every two day wouldn't be a problem, if left alone she could finish a book in that amount of time, but in this place that would be impossible. Two solid days alone? She might as well wish for the hope diamond and time travel in the same breath.<br/><br/>For an advanced class it didn't seem to impressive so far. But the discussion sounded fun. She always wished she had someone to talk to about whatever she was reading so that would be a nice change. Idly she picked out a title at random and flipped the pages till she found it and read the first paragraph just to sample the kind of writting it was since the term 'Old English' meant little to her.<br/><br/>She listened with half an ear as he talked and was tempted to ask a question just because it was clear he expected none but she could think of nothing at the moment so stayed silent her eyes drifting back to her book as she continued to page threw it reading a sentence or two here and there.
