Finally Getting Around to It

I think if I live long enough I will finally read all the books I've been intending to read. A couple of weeks ago I read Elric of Melniboné, the first book of the Elric Saga by Michael Moorcock. It was a dusty old paperback that was buried deep in the stacks of the Royal Library of Glenntopia. There was an old receipt tucked between the pages. I had bought the book a mere twenty five years ago. Twenty five years? What the . . . I guess something distracted me a quarter of a century (damn) ago and I'm finally coming around. Making up for lost time I found The Sailor on the Seas of Fate in a used bookstore. Now I'm hooked, but the series is out of print. No worries, the magical series of tubes called the interweb came to my rescue. I found the rest of the series at Powells. Huzzah! Now if you'll excuse me I have some swords and sorcery to read about.
