Procrastination Tip #93

Checking out lots of books from the library, knowing that when you see them stacked by your bedside you will think to yourself "I really need to read those before working on my own book," is a great way to - uh - avoid working on your own book.

If you have one. Which I don't. Not yet anyway. For the reasons why, please consult Procrastination Tips 1 through 93.

Good luck finding the other 92 of them, as I haven't written them yet. Why? See above.

If you're curious what I am reading, though, it looks like this:

• The Science of Good & Evil: Why People Cheat, Gossip, Care, Share, and Follow the Golden Rule by Michael Shermer.

• Saturday by Ian McEwan.

• The Inner Circle by T. Coraghessan Boyle.
  

And now I'm off to iron my clothes, for tomorrow it's back to the office.
