I just finished The Ayn Rand Cult by Jeff Walker that I read for a review. I'm currently reading Game Interface Design for a gamedev review. I'm about 2/3 of the way through an e-book of Asimov's Fantastic Voyage 2: Destination Brain that I read on my PDA while Maggie's at swim-lessons. I'm about 2/3 of the way through Crick's The Astonishing Hypothesis for a book-study group. And I started Candide by Voltaire last night.

And my book queue never gets smaller. I finish at least one book a week and sell books a dozen at a time on ebay, and the queue never gets smaller.

There are a finite number of books in the universe, and I will have a finite lifespan. The only question now is which finite-ness will win out first.

My bet's on the books. I'll be a forgotten echo in the cosmos before the books run out.

Candide is pretty good, though. Voltaire's sense of humor is pretty compatible with mine.
