Almost ready for the preseason game.

Interesting, albeit verbose, account of Lions training camp in 1963.

Life in N. Korea appears to be burdensome and miserable.

Very interesting account of early 1990's life in North Korea.

Until Gwen: patricide for a lost diamond and lost love.

Mushrooms: a snippet of street and gang violence. It seems like a single chapter from a book.

Gone Down to Corpus: I guess it’s supposed to be a critique of societal inequality, but I think I missed the point.

ICU: Daniel is running from someone, I guess. The story abruptly ends.

Running Out of Dog: Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” set about 40 years later.

So far, the adventures of Luthien and Oliver are rather entertaining. They are trying to meet up with Luthien’s older brother Ethan, banished to a faraway battlefront as punishment, and political expediency, of their father.

It's complex, a multi-faceted read.

It’s evolved from a new captain to fighting the insurrectionists.

Colin and crew just finished a raid on Anu's training camp. So far, an interesting read.

Colin is attempting to divert a mutiny!

Cutter and his friend What's his face start a new quest to find other elves or something.

Goodbye Rayek! We hardly knew ye!

Sort of interesting.

The wheels continue to spin in this political fantasy. America's enemies quake in their boots.

Cutter and Co. get tricked by the trolls, endure the despair of the desert, and now meet a new group or something.

Jack Ryan Jr. and crew try to stop this book's enemy, the (stereotypical) Muslim terrorist.

The Pearl - Kin's plight is worth the price of admission. I guess be careful what you wish for, which means to enjoy your life of abject poverty.

Mark Twain - What Stumped The Bluejays - slightly amusing, clearly a lesser known work of this legendary author.

James Thurber acts out a series of fantasies in the fun “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” I can relate.

James Joyce - Eveline - a rather thin, gritty story that seems to just stop.

Carl Stephenson’s “Leiningen Versus the Ants.” This is a great, page-turning short story. It reminds me of George R. R. Martin’s “The Sand Kings,” in a roundabout way.

"To Build a Fire" - Jack London seems to have experience with the protagonist's plight.

"The Adventure of the Speckled Band" - Sherlock and Watson attempt to solve the mystery of a mysterious death, with their usual wit and aplomb.
