Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"If you're 50 years old or younger, give every book about 50 pages before you decide to commit yourself to reading it, or give it up.

"If you're over 50, which is when time gets shorter, subtract your age from 100 -- the result is the number of pages you should read before deciding whether or not to quit. If you're 100 or over you get to judge the book by its cover, despite the dangers in doing so."

[Today is the 12th day of Christmas for folks celebrating on the Gregorian calendar or the Revised Julian Calendar (the New Calendar in new-calendar Orthodox churches). Twelfth Night, and the end of Christmastide, is tonight. So Epiphany is tomorrow ... and old-calendar Orthodox Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas to everyone whose Christmas is nearly over or nearly begun!]
