Best American Nonrequired Reading 2012." Introduction © 2012 by Ray
Bradbury, Reproduced by permission of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. All rights

I said, “What do you mean?”
And she said, “You can’t possibly read all of those before they are due back.”
I said, “Yes, I can.”
And I came back the next week for ten more books.
In doing so, I told that librarian, politely, to get out of my way and let me happen.
