Finished George Orwell's "Looking Back on the Spanish War" essay from Facing Unpleasant Facts (2008) compiled by George Packer. Agree with the late Christopher Hitchens that Orwell was right on "three great subjects of the 20th century ... imperialism, fascism and Stalinism." Always close an Orwell book thinking long and hard on his points.
Now turning back to more lighter fare with my David Sedaris collection, When You Are Engulfed In Flames. Enjoying it immensely though I wouldn't say its laugh out loud funny but definitely entertaining and perfecto before shut-eye.
