Finished The Big Sleep after painting my nails blue. Choosing a book and a nail polish color are my biggest concerns this week. Lovely. Raymond Chandler was very fond of similes.
Next up is Concrete Desert, by Jon Talton. My parents know the author, which is cool. It's sort, so I should be able to finish it by Wednesday / before I leave for Japan.
I'm going with my family to see my Japanese relatives, whom I've never met, and to take my grandmother's ashes back. I'm sad that she's gone, but she was so sick at the end, it's also a release. It was clearly her time.
Japan also presents the issue of which books to take - several long flights to get there and back, and then about 10 days of the actual trip - not that I think I will have much time to read when I'm not airborne. I think I'm going to take A Game of Thrones, Sara's Key, and The Book of Air and Shadows. I also have some free things I downloaded to the Kindle app on my phone. Should last me a couple weeks ;)
