-=>While in the White Hart, Maureen Goldman explained to Fred Runk that<=-
 MG> I've had a different one of Collins' books for years.  Will
 MG> probably never read it.  Right now I'm reading a mystery by
 
 FR> Another of his more popular works is THE MOONSTONE.  Could that be the
 FR> one? Why do you think you will never read it?
 MG> Yep, that's it.  I have a couple hundred books that I probably
 MG> won't ever touch.  They just keep accumulating.  That one has no
 MG> priority.
I know the story; I also have a bookcase full of unread books, many of which
I'll probably never get around to reading, unless of course no new books are
published for several decades.  
 MG> I'm also not sure that I'll ever eat all the stuff in the
 MG> freezer.  Someday I should simply stop buying food (and books)
 MG> and see what I actually have in the house.
I occasionally go rummaging through my bookcase of unread books and am
always surprised by at least one book that I discover.
Howeve, I lack the courage to prowl around the back corners of my
refrigerator. 
... Everything comes to those who wait, if they wait long enough.
