eve_primeBooks. My April plan was to read Sometimes a Great Notion, but as I’ve already posted, I decided to stop after page 43. That meant I needed to substitute another book from the designated stack, so I started Mary Douglas’s Natural Symbols. I was reading maybe 10 pages a day of that, plus 4-5 pages a day of Gödel, Escher, Bach (on pace to finish by the end of July). Then I stopped reading Douglas for now and instead finished GEB this month, with less than four hours to spare. That felt like a real achievement!
For May, I will see about finally reading Molly Gloss’s The Dazzle of Day. I’ve semi-started it twice in years past but didn’t get very far – but I definitely enjoyed her other books. Also, I can switch back to Natural Order if I want.
Boxes. Ha, I did nothing of boxes. We’ll see.
Beyond Beef. I had salmon twice this month, and I had some other very nice vegetables (and some beans at the Mexican restaurant). It turns out the real problem with my current diet, I think, is not enough fiber - when I eat properly fibrous vegetables, my digestion complains. So I should focus on that, specifically.
