Getaway Tinkering
Iam an insatiable reader who feels naked without at least one or two spy novels in my sea bag. I once started a mystery bookstore just because I couldn’t find enough books to take on flights, but that’s a story for another time.
My problem is that, if I find a book I want to read, I want to read it right away. There’s no stashing it away for a few weeks; I want instant gratification, and I have only marginal self-control.
It is exactly the same problem I have with projects on the boat. One type of work demands my immediate attention, just as a new Robert Parker mystery won’t last past tonight. The boat may not sink
