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.

Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges
In 1517, Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, feeling great pity for the Indians who grew worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines, proposed to Emperor Charles V that Negroes be brought to the isles of the Caribbean, so that they might grow worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines.

Returning Home

After ten days in the Collegiate Mountains, hiking and rock climbing, I am finally home. It was amazing and by far, the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, physically. Thank you for all the email and kind words while I was away. I wrote over 80 pages while in the wilderness, and will be posting excerpts over the next week. It was definitely what I needed at the time, and have gotten a lot of issues sorted out in my head. For a while, at least, the storms seemed to have been quelled.
