Finished A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Strange book. Has interesting bits, but overall, I don’t get it. It’s entirely possible that there’s nothing to “get,” though.

Reading list currently stands at eight books in the following order:

1. (Current Book) The Flyers, Noah Adams
2. Dave Barry’s Only Travel Guide You’ll Ever Need
3. Cannonball! World’s Greatest Outlaw Road Race, Brock Yates
4. To Engineer is Human, Henry Petroski
5. Dave Barry Hits Below the Beltway
6. Life of Pi, Yann Martel
7. Restoring the Lost Constitution, Randy Barnett
8. Candide, Voltaire

I scored a 40 on the Libertarian Purity Test. “Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on.” I’ll say I’m a little worried about the people who give lots of affirmative responses to Part III, but a lot of the items in Parts I and II are reasonable from my point of view.
