LOOKY There! 3,000 posts! Only took me, what, 13 years.

So, pretty quiet around here today. I heard there was some kind of ball game on the TV, wonder if that's why.

Finished Cat's Cradle. One of the greatest stories ever. It's short; you can get through it in a few days, if not overnight. It's full of wonderful observations on government, religion, humanity. Timeless. I just happened to notice there was a band called Alice Nine, which I never would have noticed but for this book. (See it?) They are rockers from Japan, kind of remind me of the Pretenders. Very energetic. They go by A9 now, maybe some copyright issues?

Now I'm reading The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. Imagine moving to Alaska in 1920 to homestead, along with your spouse, and you are in your 50s. No children. Harsh. Could you survive? Then something magical seems to happen. But is it real? This is a marvelous book that I am really loving.

Anything really great on your reading table right now?
