“The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them.” – Mark Twain

Following your progress on Goodreads I have been nothing short of amazed at how much you have read this year, especially the speed you got through those Robert Jordan books! My ability to read has slowed down hugely recently. I think I have too many other things going on. Not all of them good…. :/

This year has been pretty horrid, hasn’t it?
One could say (and not be far wrong) that I haven’t enough to do. Or rather, that I’ve been a lazy butt. :/
That said, I’m kind of amazed at how fast I went through WoT! A month?? That’s insane!
