That book is with me on the kitchen table too, of course, though I haven’t found much opportunity to continue my reading of it, since I arrived. I keep seeing it sitting there, beside my laptop, and keep intending to pick it up and read another passage, so as to not let too many days elapse between my intervals with the story, but for whatever reason I haven’t acted on that intention in the last few days. I guess I will do so right now, given that I am talking about it.
