Well, I managed to make some mashed potatoes, went to a mall
with my family, to write about the books I read, change
diapers. But boy, was I tired!
To keep the story moving: I finished Fredric Brown's "The
Lenient Beast" last night. It was a very good one, a police
procedural with a twisted plot: the police follow a wrong
line of evidence, but because of that, Brown can tell a very
touching story, started and finished Peter Held's (AKA
science fiction writer Jack Vance) "Take My Face" (1957), a
mildly interesting precursor of "Halloween" and other
teenager-slashing stuff. In bed, I finally read some ten
pages of Lou Cameron's "The Hot Car" (1981), of which I can
say almost nothing.
