Measuring the Pace

I have made it to p. 120, an awkward effort into France on holiday. I have been quite impressed thus far.

I also put the new McEwan on hold at the library which may disaffect grand designs. I truly enjoyed the Martin Amis piece on Blair in yesterday's Guardian. I did not know that Saul Bellow was once a roomate of Ralph Ellison. I am pondering, far prematurely, what I am going to read when we journey to Morocco.

My wife liked the Bolano stories and is now reading White Noise. I offer a smile to you, Mark Prather, wherever you are (wink).
