What's currently on/in my...

Nightstand to read: Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
Cassette player: Nothing. Just finished Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and will soon get Mark Twain: A Life.
Knitting needles: Aran pullover from Knitting for Baby, in KnitPicks' Merino style (Moss)
My lap: The Complete Far Side, vol. II. Internet connection is really slow at home, so I'm looking for illustrations for my lectures.
