Man, the things you have to do before the things you have to do before the things you have to do before things get back to normal are surprisingly stressful.
I don’t even want to think about the things leading up to doing nothing.
But that’s neither here nor there.
So… what are you reading and/or watching?
I read a set of novellas on my nook, Winter Well, that were unified by a theme of having “older” (at least 30, up to post-retirement-age) female main characters, and they were pretty good. Then I started up Voyage of the Beagle again, but he was talking about geology, so I fell asleep. Paperwise, I’m reading an Iris Murdoch novel, The Philosopher’s Pupil, than in any other hands would be terrible (at least by modern standards – it kind of reminds me of Victor Hugo in some ways), but, because it is her, I am loving the heck out of it. She writes exactly the sort of paragraphs I most like to read.
When I have been watching things, it’s Parks and Rec I have been watching.Report
Based on others’ comments left here, le Carré’s George Smiley novels. Sigh… once again I have resorted to epubs from bittorrent rather than the library or used-book store. Or $13.86 for a new paperback copy from Amazon or Barnes & Noble.Report
So, remember the baby barfing that I mentioned in the Weekend post? Now it’s a family affair. My vomiting started last night and we’re in the ER.Report
Oh, man. Our thoughts are with you and Clancy and Lain. Good luck getting better, buddy.Report
Oh my, I hope you all feel better soon!Report
I can not believe it is taking me this long to get through Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I need more downtime!Report
