Finished The Eumenides. Much tougher than Agamemmon and The Libation Bearers - hard to get past the misogyny.

On to something somewhat different - WEB Griffin's new Clandestine Operations series novel "Top Secret"; the beginnings of the Cold War and the CIA. There's some overlap with the Honor Bound series. I'm in 100 pages and things are moving along. Some things I don't like about Griffin's views and repeated plot elements, but he's so damm good at 1940's mil-fic.
