I love your reaction to the "read 100 pages" thing SO MUCH, Anne!!
"I’d like to know is, does Mr. Walther take any exercise? Because my fitness routine consumes fully ten hours of my week."
I think his fitness routine consists of smoking cigarettes.
The whole thing reminds me of a book self-published by a relative of mine. It was about how to make it through periods of unemployment. He shared pro-tips from his own journey through a period of unemployment. He gave helpful little suggestions like, "Why pay for Lemon Pledge, when you can just dust your wood furniture with water?"
But the kicker was this. He and his wife come to a desperate pass, so he uses the ultimate pro-tip of all: "At this point, we thought it prudent to cash in the gold bars my father had given us several years earlier. So we went down and got them out of the safety deposit box and cashed them in."
When we read that, my whole family was rolling on the ground laughing. I can just see some poor reader who has shelled out some of his dwindling funds to buy the "Get Through Unemployment" book, and slapping himself on the forehead: "Duh! Why didn't I think of that!? I can just cash in the gold bars!!"
That's how I feel about Mr. Walther's advice on how to get the 100 pages done every day.
This literally made me laugh out loud. I totally relate. Thank you for another wonderful post!
"As for me, I have to get a few minutes of troubled slumber in before jerking wide awake wondering about the apocalypse. Just to be sure, my phone is right there, reminding me that everything is going as badly as I expected."
For those of us who sneak extra “reading” in via audio books, we should remind everybody that oral traditions have been around a lot longer than the written word.

Rushdoony used to read a book a day. That drives me crazy.
