!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, when other webloggers fawn over the guy who read 52 books in 52 weeks, I think "Bit whoop! I do that most years." And I'm smug about it. I think highly of myself for being that kind of reader.

That's nothing compared to what you read. I am in awe. I bow down. (I'm not being sarcastic.) I only wish I had the dedication, the reading speed, the attention span, and the time to accomplish this.

Instead, I fritter away my hours on World of Warcraft. :)

(I've played the game for six days, according to the in-game clock. I average fifty pages an hour. I've frittered away 7200 pages on World of Warcraft in the past month and half. That's all of Proust twice over! This makes me sad.)

Have you read Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco? I absolutely loved it, and it's far better than the foolish DaVinci Code book everyone is blathering on about, written long before it, but a similar concept, done better.
