Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely think that if had I known that book "Severe Mercy" was such a lousy book I might have spared myself the trouble of reading it, but as you have to get partway through the book to figure that out, and by that time you figure perhaps if you keep reading maybe it would improve later but then again later it never does improve, so the author turns out in the end to be a disappointing milquetoast who blathers on about various literary matters as if that were important, but we already discussed that, Carol Long and I, and we generally agreed on at least this point, only because she asked.
