I sat down this afternoon and read Jamaica Kincaid's Lucy cover-to-cover without getting up. (
More thoughts here.) It was just what I needed to help me get over my post-big-book letdown (Finishing House of Leaves left me blue.) Not making much progress with reading criticism and other secondary stuff, but at least I'm reading.
I also spent some time reading Twilight in Spanish this morning. Cervantes was kicking my ass, so I thought maybe something a bit... lighter. It was that or Eragorn.
Got the rain our garden needed today. Though that didn't stop this guy from venturing out of the nest:
