Diving into Getting Things Done. Also, T-30 days

Short post after a long weekend:

HP and books...
Midnight Friday: the line took an hour, I then read for 2 hours, slept, and then continued reading Saturday until done. At the fan-heavy party we then went to, I wore a "Yes I've read it" sticker, B wore "No, not done yet." Satisfying.  Then until today- when he finished- I answered every question

Kathryn, hi! Thanks for friending me, although I fear that my LJ may end up being rather vacant for a while; I'm squeezing words out at the rate of about three an hour, net.

I read a book a day for so long that if I live another thirty years and never read another piece of bound hardcopy my average would only drop to about three a week.

Julia, avoiding duty, as per usual

I got my copy of HP&tDH on Saturday afternoon. I paced myself so that I finished it on Sunday night (and, fortunately, there were no missing pages). My next looked-forward-to-with-great-anticipation is the forthcoming(final?)volume in Turtledove's TL-191.

I can't understand people who aren't constantly reading myself.

Before the conversation over on Library Thing turned into a flamewar, somebody had proposed that a Serious Reader would average a book a week for say, 50 years: therefore, a reasonable lifetime total of 2500 books.

This struck me as improbably low....
