What am I listening to on the ipod? Nothing.
Where am I supposed to be? In church, but I've two sickly children who are sleeping. Which means that I tried to fix my collapsing posts, but still can't find a way to get rid of the "click here" on posts that are not collapsed. So, Nathan will be home in an hour and wonder why I didn't do anything to tidy up, but the blog is important, people!
What am I reading? The Rosetta Key, by William Dietrich. About a hundred pages in.
Rosetta Key follows Ethan cage though Jerusalem in the months before Napoleon is due to bring his conquest of the world to the Holy City. Cage is searching for a possible artifact of great power- power that pharaohs, Moses, and even Mohammed might have used to establish their nations.
Here's an analogy. Angels and Demons is to The Rosetta Key as National Treasure is to Indiana Jones.
Some, like my good friend the Book Dragon, have issues with Dan Brown, who many of you will know has a third book coming out. (On the other side, my mother-in-law has her copy reserved.)
I feel a bit sorry for him. No, really. Because how many symbols can you pack into a book before it all runs together? Readers pigeonholed him from the start, and good luck to him if he wants to write anything else.
And all of the fame, the over-crowded book signings, the bushels of letters and emails. How tedious. What a curse.
And, as Tevya says in Fiddler on the Roof, "May the Lord smite me with it."
Two snowmen are standing in a field. One says to the other : "Funny, I smell carrots too".
