Summer Reading, Part 2

Well, summer is transpired through the infant stage and is now proceeding full throttle into its adolescence. I have been working for almost a week, and have been doing much of what I have stated in the previous post: reading, playing music, and as already said, working.

I have finished the first book that I chose from the list, The Last American Man. The copy I have was a gift from my sweetheart, and I read it with great gusto. Fantastic book. Gave me much to think about.

Now, on to the next course in my literary feast:


Anna Karenina!


I give myself two weeks to finish it.
