Time is not on my side

I wish I could read books as fast as I buy them. Last Thursday I ordered Hyperspace. Over the weekend I purchased Mote in Gods Eye and another Heinlein story. On Monday I promised my Father I would read the Silmarillion. Meanwhile, patiently waiting for me at home is the Moon Maid, Lilith, Atlas Shrugged, Origins, the rest of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, some Sharon Shinn and much much more. I've barely cracked the Singularity is Near (purchased almost a month ago) and now the sirens at Amazon.com are taunting me with more popular science.

It could be mine. Just a click away...

Must... Close... The browser...

....

Why have I been given only one life to spend leafing through books? There is so much to read, so much to learn and so little time. Time! If I could just find a way to pause it... Just for a little while, that's all I want.
