Perks of the Daily Drive

Well, traffic isn't all bad. It means a few more minutes with a good book. Don't worry, I gave up on reading while I drive years ago. But, I do love audiobooks. I just went back to work, which means a solid hour and a half of book time each day. I have started two books. The first is "The Clan of the Cave Bear," by Jean M. Auel, and "The Blind Assassin," by Margaret Atwood. I have not read either of these, though I imagine many of you have read "The Clan of the Cave Bear." I'd be glad to hear your thoughts. By Margaret Atwood, I have listened to the BBC dramatization of "The Handmaids Tale," which was quite an interesting story. We'll see how things go.

Yes, I'm Alive!

Alright, I've been getting some flak for being lazy on my posts. (It is nice to know that someone is actually reading this.) It is well deserved. I have been a bit delinquent, but I am still alive. I finished reading "Next," which I enjoyed very much, as I anticipated. I think it is important to have books like that published to raise controversial issues and spur public debate. My favorite movie about genetic engineering is "Gattaca." "Next" was a much broader book and I think more up to date. I have also been reading a novel, bit by bit but I'll get into that later.

I have been very busy with holidays, caring for Addy, looking for work, and a few other time consumers. I hope to be back to a normal schedule of reading (and blogging!) soon.

Cheers!
