Joe Esposito said: "The survey I would like to conduct is of the people on this list. How many books does each individual currently own but has not (yet) read?" I'm loath to admit this, but if they had a contest to find the person with the highest percentage of unread personally-owned books, I might be in contention for a world championship. Seriously. I bet I haven't read at *least* 90% of the books I own. It usually goes like this: I find a book in a bookstore, read maybe 20-30 pages while in the bookstore, find the book very interesting, and buy it. When I get it home life intervenes and I never crack it open again. Now that I'm retired I've vowed to make 2010 the "year of the book". I want to read a book or two every day. We'll see how that works out. :-) Bernie Sloan
