I actually tend to read a couple of books a week, but I have a stack of books to read and I don't like it when I feel pressured to read something because I have to get it back to a location, when I much would rather read it when I'm in the mood for it... which may be six months down the line.<br /><br />I know I could have Googled it. I usually do. But, as odd (or perhaps assinine to you) as it may sound, I wanted to hear how you described it.
