Today's accomplishments

[hawkwing_lb]

I translated some Greek. I finished one column and read a book for review. I have not yet wrote the review. I went for a walk. I found a new comment on a review I wrote last January that made me giggle.

I am curious what the reviewer's "broad experience" entails. I, for one, have probably only read a few hundred books in my life (I wouldn't hope to compete with a scholar in Classics), but I have certainly read a great many that are much worse than Theft of Swords.

Of course, it all depends on how we define "worse" and "better," but I found Mr. Sullivan's story fun and thoroughly entertaining, and I would easily rank it as one of my better reading experiences of the past several years.

I laugh because a) last January and b) my qualifications to make a judgement of taste, someone is still calling them into question? I am shocked! Shocked!

Actually, I'm not shocked - though nine months after the fact, I am a little puzzled.

Or possibly just the right amount of caffeinated.
