Becker, Sackville

I've read 4 issues of Eclectic Reading, two issues of The New Scientist, one issue of Psychology Today, one issue of Cook's Illustrated, two issues of Men's Journal, two issues of The Economist, an issue of Vanity Fair, and an issue of The Globe. I also read three books: Knole and The Sackvilles, by Ricahrd Sackville, which was mildly entertaining, and then two literary biographies, which couldn't have made much of an impression because I can't remember who they were. Bully for me and my credibility as a reader. I'm now reading Hungry Ghosts, by Jasper Becker, about the 1960 famine in China, and it is if anything more devastating than reading about the Irish potato famine. Gosh.
