It's been one of those days. Due to sundry reasons, I haven't managed to finish a single thing. I worked on the site because all of its pages were recently converted to PHP, but got tired of looking at code. I began another post, but ran out of writing steam. I attempted to answer emails and respond to comments, but still suffered from issues with words. During the afternoon's pleasant weather, I managed to halfway put together a small rock garden before tiring of hauling rocks.

Although I feel like I did a lot of work today, I accomplished very little except for one thing. I have chosen a book for next month's discussion. The following is from the back cover copy of Remainder by Tom McCarthy:

A man is severely injured in a mysterious accident, receives an outrageous sum in legal compensation, and has no idea what to do with it.

Then, one night, an ordinary sight sets off a series of bizarre visions he can't quite place.

How he goes about bringing his visions to life—and what happens afterward—makes for one of the most riveting, complex, and unusual novels in recent memory.

Remainder is about the secret world each of us harbors within, and what might happen if we were granted the power to make it real.

Normally, I finish each book I choose to discuss before choosing it for discussion. I'm only a small way into Remainder, so choosing it seems fitting on a day of getting nothing done.

Now, a question: Anyone want to moderate July?
