5:00 PM Puzzles

I am playing around with some NYT crosswords, trying to finish a few gaps in many of the puzzles. This book is a collection of puzzles, ordered by level of difficulty. I have completed all of the Monday puzzles (No.s 1 - 33) and have only a few gaps to fill and I will have the Tuesday ones (No.s 34 - 66) finished. However the Wednesday ones (No.s 67 -99) are definitely more difficult.

9:00 PM Literature

I am reading "State of Wonder" by Ann Patchett. The novel has a quick start but then settles down to a fairly standard middle. But I am expecting the last half of the book to pick up the pace.
