Oh, right, gotcha! Very impressive that you manage to read lots of books, too. I think I’m the slowest in my friendship group, who all seem to have read two or three new ones, at least, whenever we meet up. Definitely have a lot of guilt on that score!

Merrie: No guilt! And really, not so impressive. I think I'm giving off the wrong impression. I read maybe 30 books a year (all the way through)? I get tons of nonfiction from the library and sort of poke through them. (Philosophy, history, psychology, etc.) I don't read every word in those kinds of books. And short stories--well, I do read a lot of them but probably not as many as you think. (I realize I wrote before that i read a ga-billion of them, but that was a crazy exaggeration. I do read a lot of flash fiction, but those take five minutes to read, if that.) So don't be impressed by me. And don't feel guilty!!!
