mixed blessing

So, I have been knitting like crazy. A bit too crazy, as I have injured my wrist. I called my computer consultant, The Breakfast Czar, for a diagnosis. Yes, one would think that if one's wrist hurt, one would go to a doctor, but as a computer consultant, working in an office with computer consultants, I'm sure that TBC is quite familiar with wrist injuries. So, she diagnosed me with carpel tunnel and told me to stay off my wrist for a while. So, I've been reading like mad. I can't get enough. I don't know what's wrong with me. I read so much in my job as an editor, that I find it quite difficult to read for fun. I guess I'm over it that difficulty, thankfully.

So, here is what I'm reading:Yiddish Civilisation. The Rise and Fall of a Forgotten Nation. As I have been doing quite a bit of genealogy, I want to know what my ancestors' lives were like. I also just read The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon, which is like a Jewish Da Vinci Code. I wanted to learn more about Portuguese Jews. It was kind of Sherlock Holmes-y, but educational. Lastly, I'm reading The Harlot by the Side of the Road. Forbidden Tales of the Bible. Good book, but way, way too much about circumcision! And, thanks to a chat I just had with TBC, I now have a yearning to read Sense and Sensibility again. It's one of those books I can read over and over. And I haven't read it in a few months. So, I think I'll start it again.

Anyway, feel free to leave literary suggestions or perhaps let me know what you are reading, in the comments.
