On the Writing of Books

I was starting to read Meic Pearse's new volume in the Baker History of the Church series, and found this gem in the very beginning of the Preface:

Quote:
Of the various books that I have perpetrated over the years, only one has taken longer to produce than this...I am reminded of the wonderful exchange between those starts of the 1960's, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, in which both men are reclining in deck chairs. One remarks to the other, "I'm writing a book." After a long silence, the other replies, "Neither am I."
