The Power of the Dog.

I have the same problem with staying awake long enough to finish a chapter. With 2 cats that have a great need to go outside (on the screened-in porch) at all hours of the night, and an elderly dog that needs to go out between 4:00 and 5:00 every morning, my nights are often interrupted. Sometimes I can get back to sleep, but other times, I lie in bed and read for an hour or so. It's nice not having to get up early to go to work anymore.

I've nearly reached the end of Stephen Harrigan's Remember Ben Clayton which has been a very nice experience. It will be interesting to see how he wraps up the story.
