I have become my father--which in this case, I'm not certain is a good thing... or not...

Friday night, I went to my suitcase to pull out a new book to read--Brad Meltzer's The Book of Fates. As I was glancing through the Acknowledgements, some things started seming familiar. Sure enough, I read this book a couple years ago when it first came out. I even had a moment this afternoon when, without realizing it was from this book, I thought of one of the character's idiosyncracies about seeing and counting crosses everywhere.

I gues, in one way, I am ahead of my father--he would often read 100 pages or so, before realizing he had read the book already...

Then again, I don't think he carried an already read book halfway around the world...

Oh well, there are definitely worse things in life than becoming my father!
