The Literate Loser

I’ve been invited to participate in the Librivox project, so the next podcast will be a special. I’ll take a little break from the Literate Loser and record a chapter of Joseph Conrad’s Secret Agent. Conrad wrote something other than Heart of Darkness, hm? Guess I’ll have to do a little research.

Bouncing back from a cold, I fumble my way through chapter 6 of Puddin’head Wilson, stumble through a quickie review of Sue Grafton’s Alphabet Mysteries, and tumble through more of the online matchmaking service’s questionnaire.
