I think I have it. At least with regards to reading. I have an attic that is stuffed full of books that I own but have not yet read. I actually started to read two of my "own" books, even though I had a library book sitting around that I haven't read yet (the next installment in Elizabeth George's series). So I went to the library yesterday to return some books I had previously checked out (and read). Of course, I CAN'T just drop them off and leave, so I start to browse. Here's one that looks interesting, Honor Turned to Dust, about the Spanish American War and the US' subsequent involvement in the Philippines. Let's take that one. Let me see..oh look, a biography on Daniel Webster, one of the great American statesmen of the early to mid 19th century. I'll take that too. What's this? Henry Adams' History of the Madison Administration, 1,400 pages. I'll take that too. So now I have 3 new books, PLUS the two I was already reading. But that's not all. My wife's book club is reading The Art of Fielding. So I'm reading that as well.
