Last book
In the interest of symmetry, I finished _Secrets of Big League Play_, by Robert Smith, 1965, 171 pp (minus the 71 or so I started with). I know feel like an official baseball inside, and I shall confidently shout out instructions at practice and deliver little strategy pep-talks during the rides to games. I just hope nobody asks me to demonstrate any of my great fielding, batting, catching or pitching ideas. And it's a good thing I'm so bad at names, because since the book is dated 1965, I doubt any of the kids will have heard of any of the greats I want them to emulate. Maybe Willie Mays. Probably another 2 hours for that book, since I kept getting distracted and having to reread huge swatches.
So this book was probably another 2 hours, and I also spent some time (8 hours?) frittering my time away with _Claimed by Shadow_ (a vampire book), _Assassin's Quest_, and all those other books I mentioned yesterday, but nothing got finished. I find I can only handle about 2 Arabian Nights tales at a time.
I wasn't as focused as I'd hoped to be, but it was a crazy and upsetting week, so I forgive myself.
