My Collection of unread books.

I have this ever annoying habit of buying books I never read. Not just books but also Magazines, Comics, (Graphic Novels); OK I do read the comics. The pictures make it easier to cover more territory quickly(A.D.D).

Needless to say I spend much time and money on good intentions, much like president Obama and his apologizing for being an American. I'm sure the moron means well in some diluted way. BTW, where is my Nobel "I really meant to read that book prize?" I could really use the 1.4 mil...

Anyway I have a big box in the top of my closet full of these graphic novels. Both my Coffee table and end tables have copies of Popular Science and Mechanics strewn across the top.

My little night stand has books piled on it as high as my lamp.

You of course realise this is not all my fault! When I read a book that has between 250 to 350 page it will take me a full day or more to complete it. So I can guess you have already figured out I am not a very fast reader. But! I am of course a product of our glorious public school system. Allowing me to remind you, "Its not my fault."

Well yes, I could probably ration out my reading to say an hour or 2 a night but as my wife will certainly attest to. The light will go out in 15 minutes or less. Not the light bulb, although it will certainly follow suit. I am speaking of my internal light that keeps me concious and aware of what goes on around me. My wife will then immeditely reach over me to turn off the light, so she can go to sleep, next to this snoring, slow reading, husband(me).

Did I mention that I recently transformed to one of those old people who need reading glasses? To make matters worse for "ME". I am also one of those amazing gifted people who has always had 20/10 vison. I would go on long road trips stunning my wife and child with my ability to read road signs way before they could see them. Falling from the ranks of Super hero really, really sucks.....

This vision problem seems to be increasing more rapidly. Gone are the days of my young eyes staying up all night chatting, hacking, and playing video games. I have to save my workable hours for things that actually make me money! Not near as much play time as I once had.

I started out with a pair of glasses I bought at walmart they were 1.0 I'm guess this means it makes all that I look at 100% bigger. Or should I say twice the size? Hmm. Any way I scratched those pretty quickly and moved on to 1.5 so is that 150% more. or 2.5 times? I need to find out, not very clear on this and really should find out.

I'll be back because what appears to probably be common knowledge to many of you seems to allude me and needs to be looked into...... I'll be back........
