Man you have too much time if you can read all those mags, newspaper, etc -
newspapers here SUCK as one is one day a week the other is 2 days a week and
all old news. Even the local radio station isn't worth the power they use to
transmit. I used to get some free networking magazine - told them to cancel
when I found I had 2 yrs worth and hadn't read but one quick Wifi story and
only skimmed it.
I think a lot of the book is lost but a lot that isn't in the book is
probably added as well. My mother in law reads (or so she says, I actually
think she's illiterate, honestly) Stephen King books yet I have yet to find
an interest and when I ask her what each is about she gives me an
explanation that has nothing to do even with the summary on the back cover.
