Umm ... yeah

The odds of my actually reading the books in my queue - not even *thinking* about the other 50+ I'd need to read to hit 100 - are slim if my progress of late is any indicator of how the rest of the year will go.

In my defense, I'm getting divorced, moving and raising a three-year-old, but still ... less Internet, more books would be a pretty good idea ... sigh.
