Or would it be a testament to my love of reading? Both? Hmm.<BR/><BR/>(...)<BR/><BR/>I know!<BR/><BR/>It's a testament to the fact that I'm lazy and love to spend a good portion of my free time reading.g d townshendehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273940169271398206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-47026835134624196282008-06-05T09:38:00.000-07:002008-06-05T09:38:00.000-07:00I'm in favor of a National Reading Day!

We all have too many artifical 'high interrupt' demands in day to day activity. How many people, who put reading in the top tier of their prefered activities, could claim to a recent uninterrupted segment, say half-a-day, to do nothing but focus on reading? Very few, I suspect. Maybe there should be a constitutional ammendment to disable the national power grid 1 day a month?<BR/><BR/>I am also really looking forward to _Steal Across the Sky_. It's coming out the same month Niven and Pournelle are scheduled to publish the sequel to _Inferno_....<BR/><BR/>...can we get that 'monthly readers day' ammendment passed by then?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394206740378244820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-77566653555672261292008-06-04T19:12:00.000-07:002008-06-04T19:12:00.000-07:00I hope the distraction of copyediting is worth it....I hope the distraction of copyediting is worth it.
