Can This Count as Step Three?

A little update on my recent readings:

A while back, I finished Yoga For People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It. This book was a total impulse buy from a Barnes & Noble clearance sale. It had almost nothing to do with actual Yoga - in fact, yoga is mentioned in approximately one paragraph. The book is a travel journal by Geoff Dyer, a British writer. Though I don't condone much of his behavior, he has quite an engaging way of telling his stories.

Next came The Vicar of Nibbleswicke, by your old friend Roald Dahl. Yes, it's a children's book. No, I'm not embarrassed to admit that.

I also recently finished The Inimitable Jeeves. What can I say? It's Wodehouse. Either you like him or you don't get him.

Here's where I get to the part about "Can this count as Step Three"? (See below for an antecedent to this ridiculousness.) I don't usually confess to reading "singles" book - in fact, I usually try to avoid them altogether because they're either depressing, misguided, sappy, or any combination of the above, but:

I most recently finished reading Getting Serious About Getting Married: Rethinking the Gift of Singleness by Debbie Maken. I really wanted to hate this book. Seriously. I don't agree with her across the board and I can think of several people who would get really angry over this one, but over all, I didn't hate it. You might even say that I liked it and that I can think of a few people I would like to smack over the head with it. You might think that wouldn't be very nice of me, but I think I would be doing them a favor.

I'm almost finished with Gilead. So far, so good.

I signed up for boot camp today. I didn't see your name on the list.
You better sign up missy! I can't do this alone.

Don't worry! I'm officially enlisted now.

I'm so glad you're going to do it, too!

No, it can't.

Well then, I need suggestions because I'm low on ideas.
