It turns out that there is only so long I can resist books that I know will be really incredible vs. ones that will probably be good and might be very good.
Yeah, that's a big problem I have, too. Some of my books have been on the giant unread pile for decades because I keep getting distracted by shiny new things. In fact, I cracked and pulled some things off the unread pile and gave them to Half Price Books without having read them because it was time to admit to myself that while I wanted to read these books, I didn't want to read them bad enough for them to ever make their way to the top of the pile. There was always going to be something I wanted to read more.
The cats would be very happy if I stayed home and read full time. Unfortunately, they aren't able to keep me in the manor to which I would like to become accustomed, so I have to work elsewhere.
Ingrates. After everything you've done for them. ;-)
