BOOK!

I just noticed that I also have this blog for books.  Well, OK!

I finished a book that I liked a lot, given to me by Dad for Xmas: The Razor's Edge, by W. Somerset Maugham.  

Definitely well-written and surprisingly modern and relatable, considering that it's 60+ years old.  It inspired me to "loaf" in a foreign land, just as the protagonist in the book, Larry, does.  However, he's trying to find the meaning of life, after his best friend gets killed during WWI.  I don't think I have quite the same issues as he does.  Nevertheless, I too think that "real work" is overrated.  At least the kind of work you do because everyone just expects you to.  I don't think I really have to worry too much about that.  

Although I definitely would still like to live in a completely foreign (completely foreign?  Not sure exactly what that means) country, like Cambodia, or Morocco, or India, for a year or more, just absorbing the culture, and maybe teaching English.  Someday soon, hopefully.
