You mean you haven't read all of them? Shame on you!

One of the dourer exercises in life is to look at all the books on the still-to-be-read shelves and start calculating how many years it might reasonably take to read them all . . . and whether or not one is likely to live that many years. It would be nice to be able to steal all the time that the people C talks of aren't reading books so that it could be put to good use . . .
