These hot days have sucked the will power right out of me. I manage to get down to the garden every other day to pick stuff but that's about it for me. But it's never too hot to read. A Blink of the Screen is a delightful compilation of Pratchett's shorter fiction (the story in which Granny Weatherwax wreaks havoc by being 'nice' is wonderful) and it whetted my appetite for more. I may at last work my way through the entire DiscWorld series so I'm starting with a re-read of The Color Of Magic.
My reading (mostly re-reading) has been all over the place-- the Sherlock Holmes/Mary Russell books, whatever Harlan Coben we have in the house, September by Rosamund Pilcher (so predictable; so enjoyable.) Predictable may be the key. In these most unpredictable times (demon sperm? Federal troops vs. a Wall of Moms? postpone the election?) the comfort of predictability is not to be denied. What about you? What are you reading? Or watching?
