William Hogarth, Soliciting Votes, 1754
Daily Thoughts 11/06/2018
I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.
I slept for ten hours last night. I have been covering some extra shifts on the public service desks lately.
I took a break from serious reading and read The Storm by David Drake. The book is very pure science fantasy, not something you see a lot of these days. It reminds me of Jack Vance. There are a lot of Arthurian touches to the story. I rather like the main character Pal of Beune. There are nights with energy shields and energy swords, strange creatures in a world which has been changed beyond recognition, and bits of castles and ale. Pal of the Beune is a champion for humanity where there are not many people left. He solves knightly problems using both his sword and his sharp intellect. This is a light read with plenty of entertainment value. I read an advanced reading copy. The book is due out in January of 2019.
Today was a federal holiday. I went and voted today.
I also spent some time working on two bookmarks. One on new business books and one on new computer books.
