And it's kind of funny - you always mention authors - so I assume Powells - and I always think it's easier for me to get to Powell's than it is for me to get to say Elliot Bay or Third Place up in the Seattle area. Which makes no sense. Maybe it's because a trip to Portland is a TRIP - days off and food and plans - whereas a trip to Seattle is something I have to do after work, which means I've been up since 4;15, I won't get home until midnight and have to get back up again at 4:15 the following morning. I'm exhausted just thinking about that.

I'm still reading Japan in the Second World War in Color by David Batty. I finished The Complete Max Collins/Rick Fletcher #2 Who Shot Pat Patton? Now, I'm into The Transfiguration Of Mister Punch by Charles Schneider, D. P. Watt and Cate Gardner. The first section is by Charles Schneider and it's slow going.
