Reading

My reading this month so far:

• HMS Surprise, Patrick O'Brian
• Mauritius Command, Patrick O'Brian
• Smiley's People, John Le Carré
• Zen in the Art of Archery, Eugen Herrigel
• Three Hearts and Three Lions, Poul Anderson

I love O'Brian's books: they make me want to write. Smiley is perfectly characterized.
