Yeah, nothing like letting a few months pass between posts. I've spent too much time reading other folks' blogs and not enough actually writing. The whole job thing gets in the way. Bummer. In the coming days, I'm hoping to throw up - phrasing intended - some thoughts about recent books I've read. I recently finished `Blindness' by Jose Saramago and am in the middle of `The Human Stain' by Philip Roth.
