Finished Spending. Loved it. And finished Strange Peaches. Not sure about that ending but I loved the rest of it.
Re-reading work in progress to try to inspire me to continue. Not sure if I stalled at 30K words because someone is about to die in the novel and I need to psyche myself up for it or if it's for some other scary reason (like maybe the idea is not novel worthy). We shall see.

Reading List 2009
Have read a few books over the past couple of weeks.
Guilty pleasures during a short trip:
Innocent in Death
Memory in Death, both by J.D. Robb
Research for next book:
Coming Back, Raymond A. Moody, Jr.
We Don't Die, Joel Martin and Patricia Romanowski
Life on the Other Side, Sylvia Browne
(Yes, I know how these titles sound but they all apply to my next book idea.)
Also:
The American Painter Emma Dial, Samantha Peale (Great first novel, written by a former MFA program classmate.)
In progress:
Spending, Mary Gordon
Strange Peaches, Bud Shrake
