• What did you recently finish reading?
The Ax, by Donald Westlake. It kept reminding me of Breaking Bad. The viewpoint character has worked hard and played by the rules, and he can't stand becoming unable to support his family as well as he thinks they are entitled to. He decides to stop playing by the rules. Like Walt, he won't change his plan even as he sees its terrible consequences, even as he realizes how his plan is changing him. Recommended.
• What do you think you’ll read next?
Maybe Oryx and Crake, for book group? Maybe The Highest Frontier, for Wiscon?
Sore throat. No poem today.
