Auntie Rosie's palm... She's 83 and I see a an entire novel at its lines. She's always been an adventurer.

Yeah. Wait till you get to the ending. Sit in awe and witness as Stephen completely fucks over his greatest work.

Wow, quite a popular thread, inevitably.
Well I'm reading 'Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger. Its very captivating and easy to read. I'm about 6 chapters in.
I just finished reading 'Elements of Style' by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White today. Its the kind of book I think any writer should check out at least once.

Century Rain, by Alastair Reynolds. Marvelous read so far. Good hard sf adventure with tight extrapolation and plotting. Probably my favorite new sf author.
The Portable Atheist, edited by Christopher Hitchens. Seems more like a treatise on agnosticism and spends more time damning organized religion than entertaining the god concept. Still interesting though...except for the section by Karl Marx that's too dry to read.

Currently reading Forests of the Heart by Charles de Lint. This is the fourth book of his that I've read and he is easily becoming my favorite author.

A lot of Flannery O'Connor lately, which is strange, because I'm really not much of a Christian. She somehow gets to me though.
