sigh... a lot of reading gets done while in the loo....

sometimes co-workers must be wondering why I'm in there for SO LONG...

:(

Note - right now I'm reading, lol... probably half in the "loo"...   
The Red Prince by Timothy Snyder... about Prince Wilhelm of the  
Hapsburgs... provides a WONDERFUL historical background for the balkin  
conflicts and the two World Wars... so ... good stuff for Pynchonites...
