Tomorrow's election day! Or, at least it's election day here. And since the Board of Elections is expecting next to no turnout, I may actually get some reading done while at the polls.
Unless I change my mind between now and 5:25 a.m. tomorrow, I'll be taking with me:
Poseidon's Steed: The Story of Seahorses from Myth to Reality by Helen Scales
Don't Look Now by Daphne Du Maurier
The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
The Hammett is one of the choices for the Slaves of Golconda's next read, but since voting at this point favors Susan Hill's The Woman in Black I thought I'd read it for the R.I.P. challenge and knock another one off the Modern Library list.
