I think I got five pages in. during the three head-nodding hours to follow I never really woke up enough for the monster drink so I'm trying it now although it is getting a little late. something productive might occur to me or I might decide to read something else as only Gertrude has this effect on me.

maybe I should start reading one author and when I can see that I'm giving them my full attention I can switch suddenly to the making of americans. I'm really at a loss here.
