I am with in spitting distance of the halfway mark of Wealth of Nations. Progressed 18% of it between Friday and now. Will probably put it down for a bit, as I'm starting to read it just to finish. If that were the goal, I could have gotten there a lot quicker by not starting.

Hit the 40% mark in Darkwater. I recommend reading it.

I'm about to wander off and start in on Phenomenology of Spirit while I've got Wealth on the back burner. Edit: Almost through the introduction. Thus far, Hegel is slippery. He slides off the page and out of your head.

Discovered RSVP "speed reading" extensions for Chrome. This is now my favorite way to read speech transcripts. Ran Deb's Canton Ohio speech through it and was surprised at how enjoyable that was. Not super sold on reading regular prose this way, though.

Had the day off today. Made molasses cookies.
