Tom Woodward on 17 Nov 14"My friend had filled the day. He was busy. But the things that made him busy were the result of his own decisions. He didn't lack the time to read.

Let me add one caveat: if you have young children, a brutal commute or juggle several jobs to make ends meet, you are exempt from everything I write in this piece. You are truly busy."
