May 2022

 (Edit: I realized I forgot about "digital purchases" so update to my purchases below.)

Here's my May.

• Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Ray Bradbury. Best book of the month. Movie not too bad, either.
• Clicking of Cuthbert, by PG Wodehouse. Funny, for a golf book.
• The Double, by Jose Saramago. Interesting and wordy.
• For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Hemingway. Meh.
• Honey for the Bears, by Anthony Burgess. So damn good. 
• Money in the Bank, by PG Wodehouse. Very good.
• The Trial, by Kafka. Finally read it. So annoying.
• Network Effect, by Martha Wells. Murderbot! or plural.

And my purchases

• Complete Middle Egyptian, by Richard Bussman. Should have gotten this earlier.
• Esperanto and Languages of Internationalism in Revolutionary Russia, by Brigid O'Keeffe. Pre-order. Can't wait till this comes out...IN DECEMBER. Ugh.
• A Person from England and Other Travelers to Turkestan, by Fitzroy Maclean. 1st ed. hb w/dj. Will start this soon.
• Ukridge, by Wodehouse. This and the next three were on a deal.
• Mulliner Nights, by Wodehouse
• Summer Moonshine, by Wodehouse
• Money in the Bank, by Wodehouse
• Cluny Brown, by Margery Sharp. Sharp!
• Between Two Worlds, by Upton Sinclair. Lanny Budd series. Heard it's good, and all the novels seem to come up on Kindle deals, so why not?
• The Cave, by Saramago. Based on The Double, I got this one for 2 bucks.
• Papillon, by Henri Charriere. One night of BCS class, my instructor and I talked about this movie. Very next day, this book on Kindle deals!
• Earthlight, by Arthur C. Clarke. Never heard of this one and I thought I'd read all his.
• How to Succeed as a Freelance Translator, by Corinne McKay. I am translating Mi Stelojn Jungis al Revado, after all.

BCS is going well. The language is coming back, slowly. I'm going to try to do another 2-3 months starting in late September. (This iteration goes through July.) I'm also doing the Hippocrene and Complete Croatian still, at lesson 5 and 4, respectively. Middle Egyptian also good. That Complete text above is a great reinforcement for C&M.
