"To compensate a little for the treachery and weakness of my memory, so extreme that it has happened to me more than once to pick up again, as recent and unknown to me, books which I had read carefully a few years before . . . I have adopted the habit for some time now of adding at the end of each book . . . the time I finished reading it and the judgment I have derived of it as a whole, so that this may represent to me at least the sense and general idea I had conceived of the author in reading it." (Montaigne, Book II, Essay 10 (publ. 1580))

Kim (Rudyard Kipling, 1901)

Re-read of another previously-enjoyed book.  The Anecdotal Evidence guy continues to enthuse so I gave it another quick run-through.

Here are my notes from first read, they are a pretty good summary.

I had forgotten that the "Great Game" aspect was not central to the main parts of the book; this is a strength.
