What? Me Read? 
Kinda long, but good ☺️
It’s not nearly as long as some of the other books I’ve read lately!
Hahaha. Yr good, I’m bad 😂
When I worked in publishing, all our books were measured by sell-in (how many books were ordered so we could determine the print run) and sell-through (how many books weren’t returned to our warehouse). We also used to joke about the low read-through of three books that were purchased, put on shelves, but never read: The Name of the Rose, A Brief History of Time, and The Satanic Verses. Sometimes when I go to book sales, I see multiple copies of all three and I think those owners finally acknowledged they were never going to read those books. However, I am glad you enjoyed this one!

I have read it several times, so I guess I’m not typical.
