What I've Finished Reading
I've been trying to get on top of some "real" work (the kind I need to get paid) and assorted other things, so it's useless placeholder season again.
The Worst Journey in the World - more guys, more ice.
Also The Hunger Games, sad teenage gladiators win the day, sort of, precariously and at a terrible price.
Both were good, or at least I enjoyed reading them. I also read a couple other books about the Race for the Pole which maybe I'll get to eventually. Everyone has an opinion about Robert Falcon Scott!
What I'm Reading Now
I need to say more about The Hunger Games and also Catching Fire, which I began yesterday, but I'm too tired. Also Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay.
What I Plan to Read Next
Now for something completely different: The Cruelest Miles is the story of a (dogsled) race against time to get crucial medicine to Nome, Alaska during a winter diphtheria outbreak in 1925. In the opposite direction from Antarctica! Next week will be better, maybe, at least as far as reading goes. Maybe.

In a way this book is a sequel to the friendship which there was between Wilson, Bowers and myself, which, having stood the strain of the Winter Journey, could never have been broken. Between the three of us we had a share in all the big journeys and bad times which came to Scott's main landing party, and what follows is, particularly, our unpublished diaries, letters and illustrations. I, we, have tried to show how good the whole thing was—and how bad.
