What are you reading now?

Rob,

If you have all that reading to do before you begin your Tarbell book, you better be a speed reader!

It's funny you should mention that, Laurie, because when I was in grade school that was when (at least in the Midwest) there was a speed-reading craze. We had to learn how to do it, and quite honestly I always felt it messed me up because I felt I didn't grasp everything the author was trying to say. Now I have to go back sometimes two or three times to get everything.

Best
Rob

Rob,

Here's an idea.
You don't have to read them. Just list them in your bibliography. Quote something obscure from each one and footnote it, and everyone will think you've read them all.

I just may have to do that Gene. I'll be sure and put in the acknowledgements that it was your idea.

Best
Rob
