7. At the moment, I'm doing a re-read project.

I've read Michener's, The Source probably at least half a dozen times over the past 30 years, and I'm over half way thru re-reading it again. I always find something new in its depth and span of history as my understanding of the region grows. This time I'm re-reading it in comparison to Uris's, Exodus, which I hadn't read since high school, and have also recently re-read to refresh my memory. I wanted to get a more accurate feel on how the two historical fiction writers handled the subject.

I also just read Piper Kerman's, Orange is the New Black. I haven't watched television in probably a dozen years or so, maybe fifteen (?), and was only very peripherally aware of the show. I didn't even know it was base on a book, so when I was floundering around for something to read and nothing felt satisfying, I came across it and thought, "why not?" It was a pretty good and interesting read.
