I've heard she's a librarian who literally does nothing but read, that she's a speed-reader who reads multiple books at once, but who's to say what's true and what isn't? She's definitely ubiquitous.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on receiving more good reviews!Scott Odenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17917296669418463518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-73750667982731215712007-04-09T15:34:00.000-04:002007-04-09T15:34:00.000-04:00David,Hey, I remember a few years back I snagged a...David,<BR/><BR/>Hey, I remember a few years back I snagged a copy of the magazine "Pages" or maybe it was something with, "book" in it, anyways, there was an article about people who read like two books a day. It had a picture of this woman in the magazine. Said she read like two, three books a day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
