Ha!

A columnist attempts to go a week without books.

"I am usually reading three, sometimes four books, with a pile of books waiting in case I run out. I never leave the house without my book, and if I'm taking a train I'll usually have a back-up book in case I finish the first one. I'd rather read than do housework or laundry, and sometimes I'd rather read than talk to friends or husband or family."

I totally understand.

What I'm reading: Mike Carey, Vicious Circle
