I have been reading again about some states loosening child labor laws. As I first started to read these articles, I found it amazing that we as a society could be moving so far backwards.
It just seems like a punch in the gut to progression in our society.
I am reading a number of articles about it now and, hopefully, I can have some opinion pieces published on the topic.

I am continuing to read The Wind-Up Bird and I'm greatly enjoying it. It is good escape reading and it's teaching me about how to write fiction.
It is easy to read and has a surreal element to most of the book. I am halfway through the book.

I'm still reading Haruki Murakami and still enjoying it. He does an amazing job setting the existential tone of his stories. Before you know it, you are escorted into a vertiginous world where everything is off-balance and things are slightly un-real.
It's like our world, but minutely different.
