Watched this week:

• a few episodes of Red Green

Reading this week:

• in the middle of George Eliot's Adam Bede
• finished Karin Slaughter's A Cold Faint Fear (2003) and Indelible (2004), both a little too rape-thriller for me. One was OK, two was too many.
• finished Carolyn Hart's Set Sail for Murder (2007) in the Henrie O series. As bad as usual -- mindlessbeach reading.
• read more of starting Jacques Barzun's 800-page From Dawn to Decadence: 1500 to the Present: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life (2000)

Ongoing reading:

• James Alison's Undergoing God: Dispatches from the Scene of a Break-In (2006) and On Being Liked (2003)
• Violence Renounced: Rene Girard, Biblical Studies, and Peacemaking (2000) by Willard M. Swartley
