Another supposedly good book I won’t be reading soon

Beckham, always the critic, took exception to my leaving him to his own devices this afternoon and expressed it by eating the copy of King Leopold’s Ghost that I had just started. And just to show he’s not just a book hound, he also polished off copies of Rickie Lee Jones’ Live at Red Rocks and Jay Farrar’s Sebastopol.

Too bad about the Leopold book. I was interested in reading it since I hear that Halliburton is using it as their employee handbook.
