Reading My Way to Ruin
I did some reading while happily pedaling away on my bike without a bike last night. It came to my attention that I’d read through 100+ pages in an hour. I wasn’t trying to speed read or anything. The only thing that stopped me from going through another 100 or so was that I finished the book.
My Nook is potentially dangerous.
I could easily run through $40k of books on that thing without thinking about it.
I need some sort of warning notice:
Dear TLOTH,
You’ve now spent your entire retirement savings on books.
Love,
Your Credit Card
