Trying to finish something...

I'm knee-deep in several long books right now, so I don't know when I'll post another review. I made the mistake of picking up The Count of Monte Cristo, as well as another book about linguistics, a history of Wales, a description of "the origins of the English imagination," and (my personal favorite) How the Irish Saved Civilization. I also made the mistake of committing to do a character part in Ballet Hawaii's Sleeping Beauty, which is now consuming a large part of my evenings. It's fun, but it's also a lot of sitting around while I wait to walk on stage and then stand around making a variety faces and gestures appropriate to what is happening in the story. All this to say, I have no idea when I'll get around to actually finishing a book. I may have to dredge up something from the past, just to save face.
