since "the ten year nap" post

i have consumed

Susan Richards Shreve's A Student of Living Things, Tom Perrotta's The Abstinence Teacher, and Anita Shreve's Body Surfing.

they were all fantastic narratives.

following that i read David Eddie's Chump Change.

the writer's life bit grabbed me, but i had to read through all his one night stands to get to the good bits (a ratio of 9:1, seriously)

but still, 3 fab books and one not so fab -- not a bad reading stretch.

i'm off to take the kids to the park and then do some more writing.
