You're absolutely right, Harry. I'm at 95 now for the year, so I'm also heading for 130-odd books. Which is actually way, way
lower than for 2014 & 2015 (the only other years for which I kept accurate counts) where I hit 298 and 317 respectively. I blame the far shorter commute this year
We're so far to the right end of the bell curve we're in danger of falling off
People here tend to forget that, as we are among kindred spirits.
