15. I will need to read his Manson book.

My library has it.

Sigh. So many books, so little time.

I like to say that I want very much to believe in an afterlife and that there are libraries there. And eternity to read books.

Honestly, without invoking the possibility of an afterlife, I'm rather crazed by how many books are published every year. I cannot begin to keep up with them all. It might help if I had limited interests, such as one good friend who reads mysteries and only mysteries, but no, I read almost everything. Sigh.

I could consider a form of censorship. Not for content. Because, for instance, just because I never read Westerns, I wouldn't want to arbitrarily stop publishing them. But could we PLEASE limit the new books to no more than, oh, say, a thousand per year? Even then I couldn't keep up, but I could console myself with thoughts of the afterlife.
