I also read a bit of this today, but due to a small but persistent headache, I didn't get much reading done.

Progress:
cleaned up my book report reads because I haven't touched them in months. Made steady progress with ADWD, and I'm thinking of starting Witness for the Dead next month, as well as Akechi Kogoro. They both seem to be detective fiction which is neat.
