“The war has reverted back to dull drudgery and I’m back to my magazines, histories, mysteries, novels. Alas, my sabbatical hasn’t done much for my intellect except allowed me to become well versed in bad books. I don’t think I’ve ever read so much in my life as here. Not much left in our little library that I haven’t hit. We just got a couple more boxes of books in today courtesy of the Red Cross. Every two months like clockwork. I have quite a collection of titles hoarded. Pretty soon I’ll have to move my clothes out and sleep on the floor to make room for them all.”
