I actually do have all day.

Current book: None
Pages read: None

I realize that I'm a complete delinquent, just so everyone's aware. It's already more than halfway through March, my schedule has certainly cleared up, and yet, still, I am not reading Hemingway. This is because I have no desire to read Hemingway, and since I am not, technically, obligated to do so, I haven't. Clearly I need an incentive, so you, loyal readers, will have to provide me with one.

I'll just wait right here.

    I have a card for you and I won't write it and mail it until you start reading.

    If you don't write this, all I have to read are academic blogs.

    You could always read my new novel Against Nature. It's about a global pandemic caused by an extraterrestrial dust mite.
    Check it out at www.wildchildpublishing.com
    You may find it a pleasant distraction. If so, let me know.
    Thanks,
    John G. Nelson

    And after you read John G. Nelson's Against Nature, you should read Gone With the Wind, because it is spectacular.

    Claaaaaaaire. Blog again! I'm with Miriam. Don't condemn us to a life of reading academic blogs. Help us, Claire-b-won, you're our only hope!
