I've been thinking lately that the real sign of serious middle age is that I'm beginning to realize I'll never have the time to read everything I ought to read, or even everything I've meant to read, or everything I'd really like to read, or everything I've already bought at book sales or the newsstand. Or my accumulated emails, at this point.
