If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Narya, the animals are hard. I really don't understand the animal kingdom classifications well.

My husband and I learned how to play sudoku a couple of weeks ago and are both hooked now. At first it took all my attention, but now I can solve the easy level while listening to an audio book. :) That's kind of fun, doing two different things with my brain at once. :) I'm starting to be able to solve the medium difficulty with audio book going now, too, but sometimes I have to pause the book. So it's not consistent.

Maria, I usually do sudoku while listening to an audio book, especially one with some tense situations. The sudoku is calming and grounding, somehow. I have the app Simon Tathum's Puzzles on my phone, free from the Google Play Store. The game called Solo is actually Sudoku (without the copyright issues). I use the 3x3 Intermediate - it's just my speed - but there is a wide variety of other options. It's a pleasant addiction. :) Oddly, I can partition my brain to do the book and game separately, but if I later do the game alone, wisps of the book come back into my head.

Not all who wander are lost. Some are just slightly directionless.

I attained 'Genuis' level on SpellsBee today without figuring out the pangram. That doesn't happen very often. I'm still working on it.
