Back to work full-time, so who knows.
- Letters from a Stoic by Seneca. Quotes Epicurus, his rival, frequently: "I...make a practice of going over the the enemy's camp--by way of reconnaissance, not as a deserter!"
- NYer of 7/21/25. "[S]tories of family trauma are not communicated directly to children but mentioned in passing and half forgotten, ore overheard out of context. The information lodges somewhere in our unconscious. Children... absorb their parents' history subliminally, “before there are words, and thus before a narrative can be told."
- The Bog Wife by Kay Chronister. Could be good, if everything about it was different. Pointless references to Jessie Weston (coded) and Grail myth (explicit) throughout.
- The Amateur by Robert Littell. "I'm Colonel Henderson. Henderson isn't my real name, Colonel isn't my real rank. My friends call me Hank. You will call me Colonel Henderson."
- GI Joe: Real American Hero by Larry Hama and others. Major Bludd such a bad poet, he thinks Proust rhymes with Faust!
- City of Illusions by U.K.LeG. Cool story of alien who loses memory, develops identity on Earth, then restored to original memories while secretly maintaining others.
