Why I Haven't Been Reading Much Lately

Attentive readers may have noticed that I haven't posted much about my own reading for quite some time. There is a reason for this. Actually there are five adorable reasons:

The Bookworm Pack

For the last eight weeks these creatures have been my roommates and my responsibility. While their owners are gallavanting across southern Africa, I gallavant through the forest two or three times a day with my new posse. They are a constant source of delight and amusement, but having M.E. (chronic fatigue syndrome) makes walking them a serious challenge. In fact it pretty much flattens me. Once they have been fed and walked and petted and disciplined there isn't much left in the tank for anything else, especially anything requiring sustained attention. However I am glad to report that I will be released from my doggy (and kitty) limbo in a little over a week and should be posting something more substantive soon thereafter. In the mean time, I highly recommend clicking over to an impressive new classic book blog, What Do I Know? The title is a misnomer because J.D. obviously knows a lot, and expresses it very well. Do have a look!
