"â€Ž"Itâ€™s not as if I donâ€™t have anything to read; thereâ€™s a tower of perfectly good unread books next to my bed, not to mention the shelves of books in the living room Iâ€™ve been meaning to reread. I find myself, maddeningly, hungry for the next one, as yet unknown. I no longer try to analyze this hunger; I capitulated long ago to the book lust thatâ€™s afflicted me most of my life."

-- Lewis Buzbee
