Reading a standard spec. Not the most boring I've read but not a lot of fun either, and I think it's a fairly bad standard.

Still plowing through The Autobiography of Henry VIII, With Notes by his Fool, Will Somer.  I'm on page 720 =/- out of 900 plus pages.  It's a book I keep in the car for the odd moments of down time.  I know the story and can pick up the thread where I left off quite easily.

Deleted a BDSM novel about gay lovers.  I've read better BDSM.

Reading a Victorian historical romance, a biography of William the Conquerer, and a government issue pamphlet about World War I food rationing.  At least I'm eclectic.

Just finished reading "Sex with Presidents"  by Eleanor Herman.  A decent quick read, but, eventually got a little mind numbing when it reached the Clinton era up till the trumpolini era and then finished with a chapter about philandering of the french and italian PM's.  OY

About to start on Obama's 700-page tome. This could be interesting.

One of WolFish's early Nanowrimo projects from our shared world, that I managed to dredge up out of our archives. A Map of Karn. Sadly unfinished, because looking back at it now, it could have been Charles de Lint levels of awesome.

"Erebus" a really good read, by Michael Palin, of Monty Python fame.  It's about the early history of English exploration of the Arctic region and the quest to find the Northwest Passage.  His post Python career has been busy doing explorations all over the world and hosting documentaries of his travels.  He is also quite an Author in his own right.  He was once president of the Royal Geographical Society.
