Daily Thoughts 06/30/2014

I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library this morning.

I read a bit more of A Brief History of Seven Killings. The language is quite interesting, it moves between the Jamaican Patois of the ghetto and the middle class to American english and British english.  There is an interesting mix of settings, politics, with a dash of violence and crime.  The CIA is even present.
