Moving along well with the new novel. It has a title: The Tour, and I've completed 250 pages so far.

Readings: finished reading Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, which I hadn't read in about forty years. Thoroughly enjoyed it. He was very creative and very brave in his narrative approaches.

Now reading a novel on the Vietnam war entitled The Lotus Eaters. It's a first novel by Tatiana Soli and is very well written.
