so, i finished reading lacuna, it was ok, but somehow left me unmoved, i just wonder what coetzee thought. i may look into it, but i'll probably just wait and see if anything pops up. now in my salt bath i started how high we go in the dark, and i don't want to say it's better, but it starts well. i don't feel like reviewing books, i just keep adding to my queue (and r.'s) and reading every day, maybe i'll get more done now tennis is over, it's different reading during matches, your eyes darting back and forth over sentences like fuzzy balls over the net. 

i dumped how high we go in the dark after one chap. on red milk now.
