>Feels good to write, but I wish someone was reading it already

On June 5, my copy of "Spy: The Inside Story of How the FBI's Robert Hanssen Betrayed America" by David Wise, which I had ordered days earlier, arrived. That day, news broke that Hanssen was dead.

On June 13, I finished reading "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. He died that day.

On June 16, I had just finished reading a chapter in "Dark Mirror: Edward Snowden and the American Surveillance State" by Barton Gellman in which the leaker of the Pentagon Papers, Daniel Ellsberg, made an appearance. That day Ellsberg died.
