It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing.After accidentally buying some audiobooks, I’ve started to listen to them in bed at night. Right now I’m listening to Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. It’s true: at the very end of the day, I seem to sink into a dull sort of melancholia. But that can occasionally be, if not pleasant, at least satisfying, in the same way the tiredness and vague pain after a hard workout is. Dec 11, 2011
