November 2022

 November is done. Where the hell did 2022 go?

Books read:

• The Exorcist, by William Peter Blatty. Wow. Great book. So well done. Haven't watched the movie yet, but want to. 
• Quick Service, by PG Wodehouse. Book for the month.
• Sea and Sardinia, by DH Lawrence. Great travel book. 
• Black Knight in Red Square, by Stuart Kaminsky. #2 in the Porfiry Rostnikov series. Excellent.
• The Martian Chronicles, by Ray Bradbury. Dated. Some good parts, but mostly meh.
• Galapagos, by Kurt Vonnegut. The master.
• By Night in Chile, by Roberto Bolano. My ninth translated book. This one was good and weird.
• Old School, by Tobias Wolff. Excellent addition to those school books lists.
• Agaves, by Jeff Moore. Need. More. Agaves.

Not too bad, and on the first day of December I finished Orlando, but that'll come in the December 2022 post.

Books bought:

• Handbook of English Grammar & Usage, by Mark Lester. For my editing class in January.

• A World Beneath the Sands: The Golden Age of Egyptology, by Toby Wilkinson. Loved his Egyptian history I read years ago. This looks good. Kindle deal for six bucks.
