I'm back--many months and many miles of business trips later. I'm reading Naipaul's A House for Mr. Biswas and think it's wonderful, but I keep getting distracted by other reading, so I'm not getting through it very fast. So many books, so little time...Especially since I'm preparing to write a book of my own and have a lot of reading to do to research my topic. I did read Jonathan Frantzen's The Corrections and really liked it a lot. It will be interesting to hear what my book club has to say about it in January. I'm quite proud of the fact that I read the entire work on my Palm Pilot--all 3,000 screens! It was a very handy format for reading on planes and while traveling around Tokyo, and now I'm an e-book convert. I'm skipping book club this month--no time, and they are reading The Cape Ann. Next month is Talking from 9 to 5, which I do intend to read.
What inspired me to write tonight, of all nights since March 17? Well, I was investigating book collection software, and one of them has a journal function that lets you export your reading journal entries in html form. Pretty cool. I'll give the program a trial run over the Thanksgiving weekend.
