Book a week
I am trying to read a book a week in 2025. It seems like a good counterpart to my breaking my phone addiction.

Thoughts
Surfacing was excellent. This is the second book I've read by Margaret Atwood, and the second I've stayed up late finishing. I will read more by her. Chris recommends Oryx and Crake .
J.M. Barrie gave the rights to Peter Pan to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children in London in 1929. He died in 1937, and in 2007, 70 years after his death, Peter Pan entered the public domain. England made a special rule that stageplays of Peter Pan put on in the UK would continue to pay royalties to the hospital.
