Just started Men at Work: The Craft of Baseball by George Will. So far I have enjoyed the foreword, but know from reading his political columns that GW writing can be a bit of a slog. I'm hoping to learn more about the game.
Borrowed How to be a Victorian: A Dawn to Dusk Guide to the Victorian Life by Ruth Goodman. Details, minutiae, but interesting.
Half way through Black Narcissus by Rumer Godden. I've seen the movie, which is coloring my opinion of the book. Not sure if I like it, but have no idea why.
Stopped at the 30% mark in Contact by Carl Sagan. Long tedious stream of consciousness mixed with scientific facts, many characters, and boring details. I'll finish it, but not right now.
Read the short story The Birds by Du Maurier. I'm looking forward to reading more by her.
I've been scatter-brained lately and have had trouble staying focused on any one book. I have a couple others going as well.
