water

there's nothing like an impending book due-date to inspire some weekend reading. after maxing out the renewals, i finally buckled down and finished the great thirst and learned much of what there is to know about the history of california as it relates to water use. fascinating and terrifying stuff. and totally unsurprising that the heavily subsidized agriculture industry spreads its stink over the whole issue.

now if only infinite jest weren't a book i owned, i might get motivated to start plowing through that again. my stack of books to be read, or finished, is getting a little out of hand. part of the problem is that i haven't carved out a regular reading time.
