5. So glad you found us!

I find this group to be problematical in that I find far too many books to read. Sigh.

Here's what I'm currently dealing with. I get most of my books from the library. Right now I have 13 books checked out, and 17 on hold. It's not uncommon for me to have 20 books checked out and 25 (the maximum allowed) on hold.

Plus, I have a lot of books I own that I haven't read yet. I visited my sister last month to attend the wedding of her younger daughter. The theme was books. I came home with ten or more books to read.

Honestly, were someone to board up my house and not let me out, but allow food in and other things out, I'm not sure I'd live long enough to read all of my currently unread books. I'm 71. Well, actually, since I'm a fairly fast reader I probably would read everything within a couple of years. But still.

I like to say that I sincerely hope there's an afterlife and that there are libraries and bookstores there.
