Nine, by a quick count, which is well over the point I start forgetting to put stuff on the list and it drops out entirely. Not terribly good.\n<p>Why do I get so far behind? Well, I am preternaturally lazy. I mean, of the Seven Deadly Proverbial, sloth is my major whatsit, the one that I don&#8217;t even have any real idea how to combat. But also there is, believe me or not, Gentle Reader, a certain pressure to say something witty or insightful, when logging that I&#8217;ve read a book, and when I have nothing to say, before admitting that I have nothing to say, I will dawdle and distract myself and hope that something will come to mind.\n<p>This is particularly bad when I am rereading something that I have read several times, and that many if not most of my Gentle Readers have read as well. Take <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2004\/10\/24\/2366.html\">Murder Must Advertise<\/a>, for example. I reread it recently because it was on the nightstand. Well, technically it was on my Best Reader&#8217;s nightstand; she had picked it up as a Bath Book, I believe, and for some reason I was bookless at a key moment and picked it up, and then decided to read the whole thing. So I did. And&#8230; that&#8217;s pretty much all there is to say about that.\n<p>So, Gentle Reader, if you were having a particularly optimistic day, and thought <I>oh, a Wimsey note, I wonder what he&#8217;s got to say<\/i>, I apologize for the disappointment. Really. But there it is.\n<p><I>Tolerabimus quod tolerare debemus<\/I>,<br>-Vardibidian.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Which Your Humble Blogger has nothing. Nothing at all.
