Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
My mother is standing in front of the bathroom mirror smelling polished and ready; like Jean Nate, Dippity Do and the waxy sweetness of lipstick.
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
The Salinas Valley is in Northern California.
The Straw Men by Michael Marshall
Palmerston is not a big town, nor one that can convincingly be said to be at the top of its game.
Vineland by Thomas Pynchon
Later than usual one summer morning in 1984, Zoyd Wheeler drifted awake in sunlight through a creeping fig that hung in the window, with a squadron of blue jays stomping around on the roof.

To Whisper and Konspire
Via Slashdot, a new way to share files is in development called konspire, currently in beta at Sourceforge. Unlike peer-to-peer networks such as Kazaa, Limewire, etc., konspire automatically distributes content based on a subscription to specific, encrypted channels that are operated by individuals. The system uses a method of mass distribution based on an interesting tree-search algorithm to decrease the amount of time required for file uploading.
Update: Here's the encryption key for my konspire channel. If you have downloaded konspire and currently have it running, click here to add the channel post haste.
