How I did it
It made me
The Bar remains! 
How I did it: I took the LSAT, applied to several schools, and enrolled at the best/cheapest one I got into. After I enrolled, I did just about all my homework and showed up at class. After three years of that, the powers that be got tired of me and kicked me out with a juris doctor. Read how I did it…
It made me 
How I did it: I started at page one of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, then I read through the other four books of that series. I acquired the two Dirk Gently books and read those from page 1 to page 300. Read how I did it…

Next is the next to last of Crichton’s books. I’m still debating whether I’ll read his pseudonymous works, but I don’t really count them as his anyway. I’m just waiting for his posthumous book, Pirate Latitudes to come out.
Anybody’s who’s been reading some of my comments on here knows that I have over 100 books sitting on my to-read shelf, with more and more books being added all the time. I’m tired of being a slave to my book shelf. But, rather than go on a reading tear, I’m going to start getting read of books I don’t really care to read. Life is short, and you only have time to read so many books. There are so many authors I want to read who wrote so avidly (e.g., Stephen King, Agatha Christie, Isaac Asimov) that I don’t have time to read everything that I might possibly want to read. I’m just about through Michael Crichton’s catalog, and that’s taken me quite some time. So I think I’m going to start borrowing from the library rather than keep accumulating books.
Freedom!
