It will be interesting to see what the next couple months holds for all of us. My nephews entire fraternity is on a 14-day lockdown because six members tested positive for COVID. Those six are staying elsewhere, but everyone else has to quarantine. I’m guessing this could happen over and over.

Wow! Our reading is really in synch these days.

Anxious People is much closer to Ove than it is to Beartown, so you might really enjoy it. I’m still waiting for my local library to be a little more open. So far, I’ve been able to return the books I’ve had for six months and put others on hold for curbside pickup. I just haven’t actually been notified on any of those books yet.

Many others have loved Anxious People and I liked it well enough, just not as much as some of his previous books.

Exactly!

In the Spring I was also able to take a break in the early afternoon for a walk, but they have us on a pretty tight schedule this fall. There won’t be any long breaks until after 3:30. I’ll miss those mid-day walks.

Yes, I just grew a little weary of The Fixed Stars.

Lots of people are surprised I teach math. I think teaching English would take a little of the joy of reading away from me.

So happy I won that copy. I need a good thriller!

You’ve got that right. I’m not sure I even want to be doing it. Hopefully, a few weeks will change my mind on that.
