Today I read one million words.

It was difficult to get started. When one has the task of a million words set before him, he must process the sheer effort and time that will be required of him before beginning.

I never had much interest in reading that many words.

Before this morning, I never would have considered it. After all, my regular daily tasks (sharpening of the pens, linking of the paperclips) would be neglected. But things in the life of an upper-class country gentleman always tend to shift unexpectedly.

My new book

Who am I

You may be wondering what sort of man purposes to read so grand a total of words in such little time.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice is a book about love. Love can take many forms. There is aguave love, the type that you feel for your pet goldfish. Then there’s avocado love, which is the love you feel for fresh avocados.
