This and that...
Sometime during the first week of the month, I read Michael Connelly's Two Kinds of Truth in three sittings over a three-day period. My view of /detective/police/mystery is that they are entertainment, and this one was certainly entertaining.
The next book in my pile of digital tsundoku was The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors: The Extraordinary World War II Story of the U.S. Navy's Finest Hour, a story of naval action during the Battle of Samar. I could only take the book in small doses.
It pulled me apart, emotionally, every few pages. I felt pride, regret, remose, grief, determination, horror, wonder-and that's without really getting started.
Today was not as good a day as yesterday. I pretty much slept until noon, and then napped in the late afternoon. Still, I managed to get done what I had intended, in the translation end of the world.
I don't know if I will fall asleep quickly when I do hit the rack (which I plan to do within about 15 minutes). I'll give myself until midnight, and then do some of that good old replanning.
I don't know what book I'll read next. I have a pile of them.
Cheers...
