You're right... they don't. I wish I had more time to read, but at this point and time, watching football (along with other extracurricular activities ), horses and my lousy ATTEMPTS at working out have just worn me out to where I don't have the energy to read.

I love to read, but I find it hard to commit to a big novel these days... am I alone in that? I can't believe I once had the focus to get through the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Atlas Shrugged and (most of) the unabridged Les Miserables... what happened to my brain????

I need to crack open Casino Royale again. I'll pick it up after Christmas since it is still sitting at Mother's house with many other books.

(Some I might get rid of altogether)

The problem is, I can't seem to find enough free time from day-to-day to really get into it or bite off big chunks. So, maybe it isn't your brain!

Or maybe it is...duhn duhn duhn

I am not a big science fiction fan either...I like my books like my moveis...believeable.

For anyone interested in a book that really explains what...

Science can and cannot do

I highly recommend Carl Sagan's, Demon Haunted World.

Even if you dont like Sagan, I think he gets a bit outlandish sometimes, this was a book written for people who want to educate themselves about what Science really is. Excellent book.
