Productivity decreasing

Just got a package from my father. A wonderful tee (picture to come) which expresses my obsession with penguins, and a lot, and i mean A LOT of (Science fiction) books. Fourteen books to be exact. Three of them are the prequel to "Dune" written by Frank Herbet's son and some other guy. Some other three are Orson Scott Card's "Shadows", in Romanian. So. In order to read the prequels, I'm gonna read "Dune" and the rest for like the hundredth time. Still have some books that are on my out-shelf, including the humongous "Aztec" by Gary Jennings.

So. Tomorrow. Public holiday. Morning: trek in MacRitchie with Nita. Afternoon: change the explorer header. Late afternoon: read, read, read.

Aye, wonderful. Moreso everytime i reread it. And I do try to read the whole shabang each year, again and again. I'm telling you, I know priests that have read their holy book fewer times than i have read Dune.
