That was a hard nap to come out of. Monk had returned from his last library trip of the season. It proved to be a disappointing season for saving money, with only twenty-five dollars in the envelope - the New York Times subscription is in some jeopardy.
Hell, Monk was even prepared to dip into that envelope to buy
Fagles's "Aenied" now. Still finishing up "Odyssey," Monk was able to find his cool, feeling that he could use a little break from those epics, and he will hit the history books in the meantime. Monk will be finishing "Odyssey" using his old Fagles edition, and if his reading life should have more years to thrive, he will buy the Mandelbaum translation then.
Monk relished his last serving of the year of that chicken fried rice. To think, he was tempted to skip it and make a fast trip out of his last library rounds. Of course, he could not deny himself. His diet is poor enough as it is. He has even fancied getting a job at such a joint for a short term, only to steal the secret of how to cook his favorite dish. It would fast become a staple, and he would love to see the day when he gets tired of it! Back to reality, it is a treat awaiting him in the spring.
