Books 33 & 34

Freemasons - Inside the Worlds Oldest Secret Society, by J Paul Jeffers (33). I have an interest in Masonry, and thought this book might tell me more... It was heavy on the history of Masonry, and details of famous people who were in it (Geo Washington, Mozart etc.) but in the end told me very little about what it is...
I am also reading a book about lumberjacks written in 1976 by a man who was in the lumbering industy in 19-teens.. I am having problems getting through it.. it is very place specific (Camp 33 was where the gravel pit is now) and heavy on the remininsing (when I run into George he still talks about the night we got caught in the snow storm) It is somewhat interesting.. it just isn't well organzied.. It is sort of like sitting about with an older person and listening to stories.. none of them particulary interesting.. and the whole thing isnt really going anywhere.
So I decided I needed a quick fiction book to get me going, so I read Tales of the Wolf (34) by one of my favorite authors Lawrence Sanders. This was like a collection of short stories about Lanihan an investigator for an Insurance firm.. I later read that these were some of Sanders earliest works which had been published as short stories in Swank magazine in the '68 & '69. Sort of amusing.. lots of drinking.. every case has a good looking woman who he ends us with.. but enjoyable stories as well.
My goal is to read a good a week... and it looks like I am ahead of schedule as we begin the 30th week of the year and I am reading my 35 book. A small cushion.. I just need to keep reading!
