Notes -
So, what are you reading?
I'm finished with Sayers' Whose Body. Lord Whimsey was great, and it had enough intensity at times to grab my interest. I feel like the confrontation was a missed opportunity, given the convergence of themes which was implicit in the scene. A good read nevertheless.
Picking up Churchill's Savrola, because it has occurred to me that I've read more Hitler and Stalin than Churchill.
I have a horrible habit of reading a book 2/3rd of the way through and then setting it off to the side to read another, but I finally got around to finishing Laurence Gonzales's 'Deep Survival'(recommended to me by a fanfic, of all things).
It's certainly an easy read, and informative, with a wide plethora of examples. I do find it interesting that amoung the 'ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure' advice to stay out a situation where you need to survive can basically be boiled down to 1) Always assume ignorance, 2) Trust your gut, and 3) don't give in to peer pressure/mob rule.
I do recommend it, if people are curious about such things.
