Books You Can't Shut Up About

[Clueless Morgan]

It takes about 20 seconds to add a book to my amazon wishlist and a helluva lot longer than that to read the book. It's not like if I stopped looking for new books to read I could read everything on my list in the time I'm saving.

I would reply with, you could be twenty seconds into a book...

You're a smart ass :p

The additions to my wishlist mostly happen when I'm at work listening to a podcast, audiobook, documentary on youtube or something that recommends an author or book that sounds interesting so my attention isn't available for most in-depth, engrossing books. I can usually only listen to material I don't care whether I recall later on.

Let's not forget that in one good non-fiction book, there could be at least a dozen titles listed as sources in the back which you might then want to peruse.

I've got a couple books that give the reference material at the end of each chapter, and some chapters have two or three pages of cited works.

Bibliographies are gold mines. I try to forget they're there.
