I couldn't get online last night, for some reason. Argh! It's irritating when that happens.

I finished Conrad's Fate last night, and ended up really enjoying that. I am planning to post more on my other blogs later in the day, when I have time to really sit down and think more about it. I know I will make one post about the issue of money as it is treated in this novel, and another that compares the treatment of government/authority in this series as opposed to the Harry Potter series. I have long said that Harry Potter is greatly indebted to Chrestomanci. It's amazing to me that Chrestomanci is so much a lesser-known work, when it is is actually so much better.

I got to do a little more reading from They Went too. I am enjoying the collection of essays on travel writing a lot.

I also did some reading from Walter Wangerin's The Book of God, Proverbs, 1 Timothy 3, and 2 Kings 5.
