Books

Don't be silly. My name isn't Claire.

One of my favorite stories to embarass my wife is about how I lent her a book after our second date. Dirk Gently, after I saw Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on her shelf.

A decade later she still hasn't gotten more than two chapters into it. At this point she says she can't break her streak. Says that wanting my book back has kept me around this long and she's not about to ruin a good thing.

We'll gloss over all the other books I've bought her that I end up reading first.

I don't owe you anything, books.

Next time try being more interesting.

I just finished a couple of books I got within a “few” years ago… I bought them when they first came out. Checked the copyright: 2014 on both… New Year’s resolution was no new books until the old ones are read.

The Once & The Future King has been sitting there taunting me for a few years now.

no bc if I haven't finished it ; that means its not good.

Nah if i start a book series i actually enojy it becomes a primal need for me and i consume it like an out of control house fire until theres no material left to burn and all i can do is sit there hollow and wanting until the next fire starts.

Do what the fund managers do and set a % range for books unread in your library - no more than 30% no less than 20, perhaps

Cycle volumes in and out. Gotta close that loop. Then each year do a count to monitor growth and shelving needs
