Just updated the sidebar a bit, to delete the book I reviewed for Bookslut this month (someday, the new issue will be up) and add the one I'm reading for this month, as well as Love Medicine, which is a trip back to sophomore year of high school, World Lit Honors, an old schoolgirl crush, and the sad, windswept, lovelorn work of Michael Dorris and Louise Erdrich.
Not to mention Wonder Boys. Man, but Chabon makes me want to write. He makes me want to stay up all night, immmersed in creating a novel. There is something beautiful about the way he uses words -- something in the way he makes me long for them.
I was thinking about my last attempt at a novel this morning. It wasn't going so bad. Yet another project.
And there are so many other books to read. I'm so in love with reading again.
