I haven’t yet. I keep checking out “Speaker for the Dead” from the library but never get around to reading it. I plan on it soon, but I have a huge list of things to read and don’t want to get fixated on sci-fi stuff.

Coupled with the fact that I don’t have a car, the overhead of going to the grocery store makes it impractical for me to shop in shorter, more-frequent trips. I do end up following a lot of them, but I find that I have to go to the grocery store at least once a week. If i get really busy then I’m not sure if I’ll be able tod o that.
