The weather this week has been kind of drizzly and glum, but still better than the May snow showers from last week. I actually like the rain--the only way it would be better is if I could stay home and veg out on the couch. Instead, I'm hard at work (don't think too hard about this statement. I can be hard at work and blogging at the same time!). The weather must be keeping the criminals at home, because it's been a little slow at the office. I've been spending the week expanding a reading list that's already unreasonably long.
I finished The English Patient this week by Michael Ondatjee. My review is posted on Goodreads, but it's a little lame. I keep thinking my reviews will get better, but so far, no dice. Anyway, the book was great. Lots of different points of view and perspectives on World War II. Also, some morphine addiction. Between Infinite Jest and this book, one would think that I'm into drugs. If you've seen "The Hurt Locker," I think you would like this book. There's a lot of bomb disarming that's pretty interesting. Now I'm on to Flannery O'Connor short stories, which I like, but they're a little depressing. I'll have to follow up with something that's more positive about human nature. Suggestions?
