Book Club

I'm probably gonna spend the rest of the day reading. Not only because I like reading, and therefore won't mind it, but because I pretty much have to.

For a meeting of the book club I hope to rejoin tomorrow. And because I only picked up the book, on a last-second impulse, from Barnes & Noble last night.

I haven't read a whole book, in a single day, in a very long time. But I may be able to manage this one, Marie Benedict's The only Woman in the Room. It's an historical fiction based on the life of actress--and inventor--Hedy Lamarr.

So far, it's a fairly interesting read. And not overly-dense, like the always elegant but occasionally inscrutable Ms. Wolfe, say. So I think I have a shot at it.

The irony, if I do make it tomorrow, is that I may well be the only man in the room for this discussion of The Only Woman in the Room...

I've got about 30 pages to go and I'm gonna call it a night. I'm showered, fresh clothes are laid out for tomorrow, and I need my rest...
