I never need to find time to read. When people say to me, โOh, yeah, I love reading. I would love to read, but I just donโt have time,โ Iโm thinking, โHow can you not have time?โ I read when Iโm drying my hair. I read in the bath. I read when Iโm sitting in the bathroom.

And then with a little shudder the elf became quite still, and his eyes were nothing more than great glassy orbs, sprinkled with light from the stars they could not see.
