Reading progress update: I've read 52 out of 191 pages.

I read Book One earlier this afternoon and when I came back to post my update, my poor MacBook Pro gave me the blue screen of death. It's 7 years old, so it doesn't owe me anything, but I coaxed it back long enough for one more backup (and this update). A quick but depressing trip to the Apple Store and my new MacBook Pro is restoring from my backup as I write this.

But back to the book - Jeez, I hope things pick up from here. Talk about protracted setup... 25% of the book and our protagonist still hasn't moved into the cursed Gipsy's Acre. He's not even married yet!

I'm guessing from here on in things will be happening rapidly; I mean, there's less than 150 pages left.
