"Well, I'm assuming you don't want all the journals with articles discussing things like the output and make-up of dragon shit, but I know some more interesting stuff too," he said.
"Dunno that I'm much for a book club though. I'm not exactly fast or particularly regular reader. Most of the time I prefer to be out doing something, but sometimes you just can't. And reading isn't the worst way to win down from work when I get in. Well, unless the damn cat wants to spend an hour running all over my fucking room."
