so, technically i’m about a third of the way through guns, germs, and steel, but haven’t picked it up in a while.  what’s more, i’ve got a slew of books at home that i still require reading, including plato’s complete works and two treatises of government.  can’t say as any of those are ‘fun’ reading and as i’ve committed myself to reading more current events, periodicals, reports, etc., i figure i should have something fun to read on the side.

here’s what i bought today: mark twain in hawaii, 1984, and the sirens of titan.  i’m equally excited about all of them, but am going to start with mark twain, because it’s the shortest.

yippee!
