I am rereading Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden as inspiration for a drawn-out urban conflict scene I am in the middle of writing.

I'm reading Needful Things by Stephen King because there simply isn't anything else to read.
I need to go book shopping.. Too bad the nearest big bookstore is half an hour away.

I am currently reading:
T.C. Boyle Short Stories (a collection)
Kurt Vonnegut Short Stories (a collection)
Annie Proulx - The Shipping News
I've kind of been on a short story kick lately...don't know why. Sometimes I just get in the mood for some bite sized reading.

I read this page and I realised I haven't heard of any of these writers.
(ok, I admit I heard of a couple of them but taht's it)
Oh, well. I'll stick to the classics. My current read :"The Demons" by Dostoievsky. I wonder why I haven't read it before.

At the moment I'm reading The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley - I'm studying up on my Arthurian Legend. I love how this book isn't told from the point of view of Merlin or Arthur, that the story is seen through the eyes of Morgaine (Morgan le Fay).

Well, I'm still reading From the Corner of His Eye by Dean Koontz. I haven't been able to read as much lately. But after I finish that I will probably read, All quiet on the Western Front.

Catch-22 is great! Major Major Major Major. I wrote a paper on it in high school English.
