Busy Week

This past week has been very busy. I have really been enjoying Sally's blog and have, myself, been a multi-tasking reader. The Fountainhead is progressing. I am far enough in to be engrossed by the characters plus I feel as though I am learning a great deal about architecture. According to World Literature Criticism, Rand did extensive research for the novel including working for some time in the office of a famous New York architect. I put The Fountainhead down to start Giraffe: A Novel, my June book discussion book. It is a work of fiction based on the true story of the 1975 slaughter, by Czech secret police, of the largest captive population of giraffes in the world. The book begins with the birth of one of the giraffes told from the giraffe's perspective. Very unusual. I have also just started Lee Iacocca's new book, Where Have All The Leader's Gone? His book is a scathing assault on the current administration, one he acknowledges to have initially supported, and what other leaders of our time represent.

On another note...turns out the letter "N" was realllllly, realllllly hard. We only had 41 bands and that included checking MP3 players and including Swedish Christian metal band "Narnia," which was found by guessing a band with that name might exist. I could not have imagined such a precise genre, however. This week..."F."
