16. Good grief

You're getting upset that I mentioned books I'd get to very soon? Sheesh.

Fine, I'll toe this arbitrary line from now on and list only what I'm currently reading *as of the moment I post.* I mean, I was, by that standard, reading only the first one (Brother Cadfael), but not long after that--as I indicated--I started reading Moby Dick. Getting through 80 pages of short stories is less than an hour's reading for me. Really. But, okay, sue me for mentioning a book I'd get to shortly after the first one. How horrible to be a fast reader! And to mention the one after Moby Dick? Must be a capital offense around here!

Also: The Herms wasn't addressing you, but Herman Melville. Herman--Herms--Get it? I mean, really, why would I address you in a remark about Moby Dick? You don't have anything to do with that.
