Lost in a good book

Actually, two: John Grisham's "The Partner" and "Innocents Abroad," by Mark Twain. I've done just about nothing else since Saturday. The laundry is piling up. To hell with it, I say.

"Innocents" is a lot of fun to read - a tale of tourism in Europe and the Middle East enlivened by Samuel Clemens's inimitable wit - and has the further advantage of being episodic by design, which makes it an easy book to leave for a while and then come back to later. Both it and "The Partner" will wind up on the books list soon.

And tomorrow I'm planning to get organized, but it may be Wednesday before the laundry gets done.

And BTW go Butler, although I'm guessing the smart money is on Duke. The smart money Tuesday night is on UCONN, so what else is new?
