I finished Candide and Crome Yellow and am now partway through Daisy Miller, a wonderful portrait of an American girl is Switzerland in the early part of the 20th c.

It is a strange timetravel going back to these old books I read in my youth. What happened was, I found a package of 50 of them for 99 cents I could download to my iPhone. It is such easy reading--lighter than abook, with flickable pages back and forth--a wonder, and perfectly pleasant to read, backlit so you can see it in shadowy places. A gem.

So I am wandering the corridors of time with Aldous huxley and William James, perfectly delightful. I could do it forever.
