Now reading "Deus Lo Volt!" by Evan S. Connell. One interesting side fact is that the author's initials are written in gold on the book cover underneath the jacket. I wonder at what point in their careers authors get their initials on the book cover.

This book is about the Crusades, and I know almost nothing about the Crusades, so as I read it I'm referring to the map in our hallway to look up where the Crusaders are now. One a side note to that, I love having a map in the hallway. But so the crusaders walked from France to Jerusalem. They had to divide into three bands so they didn't destroy everything in their path on their way.
