Day 183

Originally uploaded by macktruckturner

Over half a year has gone by since my deployment, and over half a year remains. Two days ago I picked up Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, hoping it would provide a good long read and make a week or so fly by. My calculations were horribly off, I managed to read the book entirely in a timespan barely exceeding 24 hours – and I was asleep for about 5 of those. The only obvious path from here is that I find some way to get The DaVinci Code, Digital Fortress, and Deception Code sent to me.

Talks with other people have led me to believe that I might just need to read the whole Harry Potter series while I’m at it. A number of people have made references to things from the books, leaving me wondering what the heck they were talking about. I guess the real way to find out would be to read the books. Still not sure about that one though.
