Only in reader forums will people understand ONE shopping bag of books a week is quite limiting.

One week I chanced on a ten book series of SF from an author I was unfamiliar with. All that week I forced myself through one boring misadventure after another. Only the colorfully perverted attempts at lewdness gave any (very very little) relief.

 I can attest by virtue of 61 years of reading and an English degree that L. Ron Hubbard invented a religion as useless as his prose.
Ouch!!! A deceased friend of mine told me he had the issue of the science fiction mag in which the pre-Scientology L. Ron Hubbard bragged that he could invent a money-making religion. Unfortunately, he died before ever showing it to me.

BTW, Patricia's not the only one who likes your user name!
