The Queue

Reading time has been in short supply of late. Most notably, in the realm of magazines, I've been able to stay current with National Review & have been making significant inroads into my backlog of Road & Track. I'm a full year behind on Car and Driver. I borrowed Samantha Power's "A Problem from Hell:" America and the Age of Genocide from the library long with The Adventures of Tintin, but will return the former unread; I simply haven't the necessary time to devote to such an important book. It will remain in the Queue.

Recently
Thomas J. Craughwell, Saints Behaving Badly: The Cutthroats, Crooks, Trollops, Con Men, and Devil Worshippers Who Became Saints
Edgar Rice Burroughs, Llana of Gathol

Currently
