One uncomfortable thing about being together at Houston with so many colleagues, DC-ers and NY-ers, was the realization that I am way behind with reading colleagues’ books. I haven’t read (ex-colleague) Rod’s, nor Kate O’Beirne’s, nor Ramesh’s. I was quite relieved to hear that Jonah’s book won’t be out till next year. Gotta get down to this.

I told Ramesh I’d read his book, then I’d read Michael Schiavo’s for balance…..
