Summer Reading Spectacular #16

I confess that today was a less-than-productive day when it comes to reading. For some reason I spent more time than usual napping. Hey. It is my vacation. The wind was up today, and so my time spent reading at the beach was also cut short. In the morning, the wind was rather cool, so I came back early for lunch. In the evening, the wind was quite warm, so I stayed reading for a while, but quite frankly, trying to keep my book open to the correct page was a bit challenging at times.

In any case, I did do some reading and finished one book. I read Jeffrey Archer’s A Prison Diary: Volume 1 – Hell two summers ago while here. Last year, I read Volume 2: Purgatory and now I’ve read Volume 3: Heaven. Being a fan of Archer’s novels, I have also found these rather fascinating. He is very candid about his experiences as well as his treatment while incarcerated. He comes across rather positively about most of the officers whom he encountered while in the big house (ha!) but less positively about the bureaucracy of the system.

At one point, I thought, “Funny how you can be reading completely different books at the same time and notice some little passing detail that they have in common,” but by the end I’d forgotten what it was I’d noticed. Hmmm. I should keep Post-It notes handy for such things.
