Skipping around
Lots of energy in the nonegenarian today, walks a bit longer, humor a bit sharper; perfect climate seems to help. She's reading short stories by Dorothy Parker, so maybe that explains it.
I'm continuing with the Robert Musil collection, which is very promising so far, with the first novel he published, Young Torless. It's set in an Austrian military school, maybe mid 1800's, with nasty young characters abounding, but much insightful exposition about what's going through Torless's mind. Musil seems to be one of those writers who can inspect human behavior and provide thorough, artful analysis.

True. If you're going to hang around with Dorothy Parker, you need to sharpen up.
