that it took me three months to read forty books, but I did also read about twenty other books in the interim.

Truth be told, toward the end I started to slow down, and savor what I was reading, knowing that when it ended that would be it until Sir Terry wrote another.

OTOH, as I’ve said before, it isn’t as if I’ve buried a friend, but rather made a bunch of new ones, who I can go back and revisit over and over again as often as I like.
