Splish

If it keeps raining like it has been today, I'm wearing a scuba mask to work tomorrow. I work in an old warehouse that has been converted into an office building. While there are a lot of cool aspects to our digs, being in an old building does has disadvantages. One of them is when the windows leak. The window in my office leaks, which isnt terrible unless we're having a flood. We got a deluge of rain at lunch time and half of it came in my office window, soaking my Dictaphone, a binder and part of my telephone. My secretary has tented the table on which my phone and Dictaphone sit with trashbags until our General Services department can come up and bail me out.

In other news, I finished reading I Am Charlotte Simmons last night. Like most people I know who've read it, there were parts I liked and parts I didn't. Overall, the end was depressing -- so depressing, in fact, that I considered not finishing it.

Now that that's out of the way, I have to decide what to read next. My two book clubs' next selections are: Across the River and Into the Trees by Ernest Hemingway, and Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books by Azar Nafisi. I'm more inclined to read the latter than the former, although I could ditch both of them and read something else entirely. Suggestions?
