Month in Review: September

I was converted to a full-time "regular" position. This means two days off a week and no more mandatory overtime. There have been some family demands that have prevented me from working as much on personal projects as I'd like, but I'm still making progress. I'm very close to begin the next phase of the big project, inking. Because I'm not as comfortable with my inking skills as I'd like to be, I've decided to start a side project as kind of a practice ground. I finished a rough of the first strip this morning. It isn't perfect, but it is serving it's purpose.

As for reading, I didn't do quite as much this month. I'm in the middle of Daniel Defoe's *Roxanna.* I also read a third of Elizabeth Anderson's *Private Government* and even less of Adam Smith's *Theory of Moral Sentiments.* I recently started David Harvey's *Neoliberalism.* Unless I'm mistaken, these are the only books I read all month. Pretty sad, only four and I didn't finish a single one.  I've also been listening to older episodes of the amimetobios class, "Imagining Money." I hope to write up a review of the class soon. I have watched quite a bit of Star Trek TNG and am now on season 4. Here are a few books I hope to read in October:

Dostoyevsky, *The Gambler*
Catherynne M. Valente, *The Orphan's Tales: In the City of Coins and Spice*

Philip Pullman, *The Secret Commonwealth*

Robert Wiebe, *Self-Rule*
Elizabeth Anderson, *Private Government* (finish)
Adam Smith, *A Theory of Moral Sentiments*
David Harvey, *A Brief History of Neoliberalism*
