Count Dracula was 412 when he moved to England in search of new blood.
Sauron was 54,000 years old when he forged The One Ring.
Cthulhu had seen galaxies flare into life and fade to darkness before he put madness in the minds of men.
It's never too late to follow your dreams!

Is your TBR pile making you sad?
Does looking at it fill you with regret at the lives not lived?
Do you live in fear of it falling on you in your sleep?
Ignore it!
Buy a new book instead!
Ghostwriter: writes your novel for you
Zombiewriter: resurrects your dead novel
Werewolfwriter: turns your Scrivener file into a finished novel every full moon
Vampirewriter: makes your novel sexy, but invisible in mirrors
Godzillawriter: makes your novel 300m tall, repels moths
People complain that Sci Fi writers use obviously made up names for things in their books, but actual real professional scientists named the machine that smashes atoms together really hard a 'supercollider', so who's *really* making stuff up?

Hey you.
Yeah, you.
Ignoring your nearest and dearest while you read Twitter on your phone.
You ought to be *ashamed* of yourself.
You should be ignoring them by reading a book instead.
Listening to audiobooks isn't 'reading'
Reading an eBook isn't 'reading'
Reading a paperback or hardback isn't 'reading'
The only TRUE way to read a book is to join with the author in a Vulcan mind meld and pull it directly from their brain in a single unfiltered rush of words

'I own too many books'
- makes you sound weak
- no such thing as 'too many books'
- you can't, like, own a book, man; it's one of Mother Earth's creatures
'I have amassed too much knowledge'
- suggests an imminent explosion
