Read in August

It's still Book-A-Day season in Hornswoggler-land; in fact, this was the month that I passed the 200-day mark (the end of the last Book-A-Day run) and announced, in my usual sideways and diffident manner, that I was aiming for a whole year this time. So all you'll find below are links, but I do hope you will find those links salubrious.

And that was August; I hope the next few months will be cooler, which might get me to spend more time at this computer -- they certainly look to be less hectic work-wise, which also could help.
