So much to read. So little time.  :(

Garland,

I believe it was Schopenauer who said (or in words to the effect) "We buy books in the illusion that we are buying the time to read them."  Of course, knowing this group, we would use that purchased time to play golf. 
Some days you play golf, some days you find things.
