I am very much enjoying Headhunter, though having worked half the day and slept the other half, I'm not much farther. I find I'm quite hampered by my lack of Wuthering Heights knowledge -- what does "Heathcliff hath murdered sleep" mean? How did Linton perish?
This is a book that requires you to know a lot of other books. I'm very glad I've read Heart of Darkness three times. I'm glad I know about the Samurai Susanna. I found this line very funny:
This is a very fun book.
Worked today. Sounds like they're going to want me back for my old job, starting week after next. I've barely written anything today (1.5 pages), but I'll probably spend the evening doing that :)

"The groundhog, looking up at her as it ate, had a face very much like Susanna Moodie's -- slightly bad-tempered, furrowed over the brow, a weatherbeaten red in colour -- grey around the edges.But if Susanna is going to help Lilah Kemp fight Kurtz from Heart of Darkness, she should have come with her giant samurai sword. That would help. A faithful groundhog familiar couldn't hurt, but Kurtz is likely very powerful.
