21. Hi Hermetic

I just finished Bad Monkey by Carl Hiaasen. Multiple plot lines and a contrived ending; not his usual form but a blessed relief from the roar of election noise. I'm halfway through Conn Iggulden's Wars of the Roses. No panting bodice ripper, just a sordid tale of Medievals being beastly towards each other. Iggulden sticks close to history, of which I approve. And since I've never read Edward the VI I splurged on the Complete Shakespeare for kindle; $0.99 at Amazon.
