thebookpileI'm still a bit sick but was tired of working from home, so I went into the office. Luckily, very few people were in today and I had my part of the library to myself, so I don't think I infected anyone.
At lunch, I went out and finally bought Manifesto, the latest album from The Souljazz Orchestra. It's even better than their last one. There's less Afrobeat in the songs, which I miss, but it's been replaced by increased funk.
Reading: I finished the last two Sherlock Holmes novels (The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Valley of Fear). I began the last of the short stories this weekend, but before I started on them I took a small break from Baker Street and read Watchmen. I have mixed feelings about Watchmen.. It was good, but I didn't find it great. Part of it probably lies in my instinctual aversion to serials (I hated The Count of Monte Cristo, and Book IV of The Lord of the Rings is my least favourite of the six). Part of it might be that I was reading it during the onset of a cold combined with a weekend of unending family gatherings. I'll have to revisit it sometime in the future and revise my LibraryThing rating accordingly.
