You're speaking my language man! I hated reading until I moved to TN in 96 and didn't have money for a TV. Borrowed a book to pass the time and here we are in 2010 fighting off the idol of books.

I have 2-3 going at one time but anything more than that ends up not being read until one is finished. I have bookmarks in 20+ books :-) I also believe that it is vital to read when in full time ministry. Too many people don't see a pastor's reading time as advantageous but it is vital to the health of the body to have a pastor who reads.

I don't have a satchel...but I don't have a mac yet either. It'll be a package deal.

I'm going to have to call you out on that one. Soccer is actually a Brittish term used many moons ago. So, a purist could still say soccer and be fine.
