Richard Kaplan type stuff? I have one of his at home, for research purposes. But stuff I won't hate keeps getting higher priority.
Cycling has kind of killed my bookreading - it should in theory get me home in time to get an hours reading in at the evening, but it never seems to work like that.

I'm amused at how Kate is having to defend a position here that is simply a fact, and that fact is that a lot of people do not read books.
For example, many of the people in Mister Monkey's office do not read books or appear to engage in much culture beyond the internet and computer games in any way at all. And even, Andrew, a lot of the people we both know from the Place You Used to Work are not readers. As an example, I offer you the case of our friend C, who now runs his own company. He only reads books like "How to Maximize your Money" or else textbooks. My old friend Stephen C is the same. It's just how things are.

There's more to life than the internet, I know, but not much more.
Is this our friend C who's now worked in two jobs with Mister Monkey? I didn't know he has his own company, but I'm not surprised. He's got a missus who does all the reading, no?
