<p>As should be pretty obvious by now, I&rsquo;ve conceded the Fifty Book Challenge. I did get ten pages of Tim Harford&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0195189779/memphiswatch"><cite>The Undercover Economist</cite></a> read while waiting for my car&rsquo;s oil to be changed today in Collierville, but the ruthless efficiency of <a href="http://www.goodyeardealers.com/38117/default.asp">Mathis Tire and Auto</a> (in and out in less than 20 minutes, including a tire rotation, for $17.50 or so) precluded any further reading. Except for the stuff I&rsquo;m being paid to read, it may be a while before I get back in the reading groove.</p> http://blog.lordsutch.com/archives/3141 http://blog.lordsutch.com/atom.cgi/entryid=3141
