Hunting Time: Good
In the early afternoon I finished Hunting Time, A Colter Shaw Novel Book 4 by Jeffery Deaver. I liked the book; recommended.
Mastering Emacs Together
We have a tiny book club that meets every weekend to read and discuss the book Mastering Emacs, 2022 edition written by Mickey Petersen. We go through a few pages of the book every time we meet, do some demos, and talk about the concepts we learn from the book. In the 36 meetings that we have had so far, we have spent approximately 26 hours together carefully reading every line of the book, trying out the lessons on an actual editor, and experimenting with the new concepts. In the last 3½ months, we have completed four chapters of the book. We are currently reading the fifth chapter. In this post, I'll share what the journey has been like so far and a few interesting things we have learnt.

Body Of Evidence
A reclusive writer is dead. And her final manuscript has disappeared . . .
Someone is stalking Beryl Madison. Someone who spies on her and makes threatening, obscene phone-calls. Terrified, Beryl flees to Key West - but eventually she must return to her Richmond home. The very night she arrives, Beryl inexplicably invites her killer in . . .
Thus begins for Dr Kay Scarpetta the investigation of a crime that is as convoluted as it is bizarre. Why would Beryl open the door to someone who brutally slashed and then nearly decapitated her? Did she know her killer? Adding to the intrigue is Beryl's enigmatic relationship with a prize-winning author and the disappearance of her own manuscript. As Scarpetta retraces Beryl's footsteps, an investigation that begins in the laboratory with microscopes and lasers leads her deep into a nightmare that soon becomes her own.
In the evening I started in Body Of Evidence, Scarpetta 2, by Patricia Cornwell.
