Right. 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.
