From Wikipedia: Carry on, Jeeves is a collection of ten short stories by P. G. Wodehouse. It was first published in the United Kingdom on 9 October 1925 by Herbert Jenkins, London, and in the United States on October 7, 1927 by George H. Doran, New York. Many of the stories had previously appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, and some were rewritten versions of stories in the collection My Man Jeeves (1919). The book was a quick read and highly amusing. I found myself laughing out loud several times. Recommended.

Freddy is a golden hamster who can read and write. Professor Fleischkopf (literally "meathead") wants to hamster-nap him and dissect his brain in order to forward his eeevil scientific research. Aided by a team of interspecies roommates, Freddy flees his happy home in order to stay one step ahead of Fleischkopf. By the end of the book, I think you'll agree this episode is quite a close shave. Originally I purchased this book at Goodwill because the two guinea pig characters, Enrico and Caruso, piqued my interest. In the estimation of the main character, they are unintelligent and vain, stemming from their love of theatrics and music. Not a kind filter for these two characters, but there were some delightful drawings of them in the book. One funny moment comes when Freddy is looking to send his master an email. Freddy's owner has a Macintosh, so they believe they need another Macintosh: Those Graywhiskers! Not only did they promptly agree to keep us supplied with food in our abandoned house, but they actually managed, by exploiting their far-flunt connections, to locate a house with a computer in it. Graywhisker the Great brought us the news in person. "But is it a Macintosh?" I asked. He nodded. "Our informant swears it is." As an old-school Mac user, I still marvel at how in the last ten years Macs have gone from "oh yeah, those guys" to being considered one of the "big three" tech companies. Another interesting moment comes at the end, when Professor Fleischkopf appears on a television show that is supposedly "debating" experimentation of animals. As a newspaper later summarizes, the scientist "goes insane on live TV." Except as an adult, the television sequence seems exceedingly unbelievable. (But then again, I'm reading a book about a hamster that reads and writes...) Clearly, the moral is that animal experimentation is bad—and I agree with that message, but this book presents that moral in a really flimsy way. Overall, this is a pretty creative story, better for the younger readers than me. But once in a while I appreciate reading a fluffy book or two. And if animals are the main characters, all the better!

In June 1992, Jim Davidson and his friend, Mike Price, set out to reach the summit of Mount Rainier. It was after the successful achievement of their goal, as they began their descent, that disaster struck; the climbers, tethered together, plunged through a snow bridge softened by the sun and into a huge crevasse, landing on a 14 square foot ledge some eighty feet below the surface. Price was injured fatally during the fall; Davidson, the less seasoned of the two, was left to struggle alone for survival - by scaling the sheer vertical wall of glacial ice using jerry-rigged equipment and techniques he had only read about. Though the rhythm of the book is a bit stilted at first, once Davidson begins to recount the events of the Rainier expedition it becomes smooth, mesmerizing. Some of the writing is very technical; there are entire passages that only fellow climbers could comfortably breeze through. But descriptions of the climate, the physical challenges, and the bond between the climbing partners have universal appeal; there is great imagery here, rendering palpable both the joy and beauty of the men's achievement, and the horror and despair of Davidson's lonely return. Davidson takes the reader through the aftermath of the accident, as he learns to deal with his sorrow and guilt. Ultimately, he attempts to draw positives from the experience, focusing on the lessons learned about determination and endurance, and the meaning and value he attaches to life. Excellent read.

I just finished reading On Chesil Beach. I found it surprising, intriguing, and in the end, a book I'll continue to think about. It is a minute dissection of both the sexuality of the time and of the particular male and female main characters as well as the effects that one decision can have (effects to which one is particularly blind in the moment). The story of the newlywed couple's first afternoon together married, how ill-prepared they both are for sex, how out-of-sync, is really pretty tragic, especially if you feel the ending (told from the perspective of the male character only) to be true.

I still do not like the witches, but I do have to respect a book that manages to satirize books that hadn't even been written yet.

Essay after essay, an examination of various groups that contributed to the electoral victory of the national socialists in 1933 through inaction, cooperation, indecisiveness, and incomprehension. From the catholic center party to the communists, all were to blame. Further discusses the extended crisis period germany had entered and how only the national socialists were capable of providing new and feasible ideas for national recovery.
