Since Pop was settled in on this wet, semi-wintry Sunday afternoon in the office over the newspaper blaring at top volume that pre-World War II country & western music, Monk laid down for an early nap in the theater. I am surprised that Monk actually fell asleep, at least until Victor's phone call charged him out of bed in utter confusion.
Monk had finished Block's book, and I am happy to say that he converted him into a fan. "The Girl with the Long Green Heart" is definitely a rereadable.
Instead of beginning his second reading of "Story of O," Monk thought that it would be a good idea to get a jump on the remainder of Mr. Scullard's rendition of that Carthage and Rome story. Although this is better than the much drier sections on the archaeology and earliest history of pre-Roman times, Monk gave up on Scullard again. He would rather begin "Reading Vergil's Aeneid" tomorrow, rather than spending another whole week with Scullard. Life is just too short.
So, Monk gave in to his tiredness and shut Scullard for good, falling sweetly into his nap. Best yet, we begin "Story of O" this afternoon. And life is thus swiftly made that much richer.
