A Book-a-Year Man

[Brock Vond]

Yeah - I can picture myself being unemployed because of the reading schedule
that output would require (REQUIRE!) and of course visions of panhandling to
pay for the books about the books published yearly...

It would be kinda cool if for like 3 - 4 years of books Stencil got
married... Had kids... Had this American Beauty type of mid life crisis...

..bought a corvette...
