_The Book of Ash_ is next in line.  It's too thick for the
usual pocket of my go bag (I have left-over space in the
main compartment, having stopped carrying a light jacket),
and I suspect that nothing by Mary Gentle will be
appropriate distraction, but there aren't a lot of unread
books in the house.  I don't think Ethics for Nurses (1916)
could hold my attention long at a time.

_Lost Burgundy_, to be exact.  Unexpected problem:  A great
deal of important material is in italic type a smidgeon
smaller than the roman, and I can't read it in the available
light.  So I turned to a dramatic scene near the end -- Ash
feeling that she should have noticed the character of her
nurse sooner -- and have been getting on well; Gentle's work
is so together that I don't really need all that background
at the beginning, yet feel sure that it would been worth
reading.

Today I read a couple of magazines that came in yesterday's
mail and were left in the box until I checked it on the way
out today.  We swapped, which pleased me very much, as he's
been too tired to read.

Come bedtime Wednesday, I'll be reading Usenet, and with
luck it will take months to find out how _Lost Burgundy_
comes out.
