I'm back! This was a much better trip. And I'm not just talking about the chicken fried rice, though that was definitely food for my soul; if anything, they put too much chicken in it! Not that I'd complain.
Maybe I was just more in the mood for books, because many more of them were looking so good to me that I was regretting again having only one lifetime to read.
For my fiction, I went with the intention of getting Thomas Harris's "Red Dragon", which is the predecessor to "Silence of the Lambs". I thought it would be a good bet to get deeper into that story, but I came across John le Carre and I was feeling guilty for not reading more of him, since I enjoyed his "Perfect Spy" and "A Little Town in Germany" and knew he was a quality novelist. So, I browsed his books, and I decided to pick up "The Little Drummer Girl" and enjoy a fictional dip back into the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. And this will probably be my last novel for this library season, just as Fox's "Classical World" will be my last non-fiction book. We'll call it a good season.
