Something got me.  I don’t know what it is, but I have hit all sorts of bodily breakdowns in the last 24 hours.  I won’t regale you with the tale, however.  Let’s just say that if you don’t see me tomorrow, it’s for the same reason you didn’t see me today.

I feel very overbooked today.  By that I mean I’ve had a mild desire to read, but no compunction to pick up a book all day.  The one I want to read, I don’t have yet.  How singular does the brain get sometimes?  Very, it seems.  I also went through Amazon and Barnes & Noble online looking for something that would reach out and grab me in their “featured selections”.  Nothing.

I can always count on Project Gutenberg.  While I have downloaded 135 books this summer, reading only a handful so far, I should be able to find something that I feel comfortable reading tonight, and I did!  It is Bram Stoker’s 1903 literary hit The Jewel of Seven Stars.

So now I am off to go back to bed to read, and cross my fingers that I am up to making coherent decisions tomorrow.
