I've finished with "The Time Traveler's Wife" and I absolutely loved it. It was lovely, terrifying, sad, and beautiful and I feel changed after having read it. Her ability to portray longing left me with tears in my eyes on more than one occasion and the final few hundred pages of the book were exquisitely agonizing. I loved it.
I picked up Richard Dawkin's new book "The Greatest Show on Earth" and have started in to that.
Writing is going well too. I'm at a "blitz" stage where I write for many hours at a time and get a lot done. This will be followed by a slower state where it's a struggle to get three sentences down at a time after which I will go back into an "outline and planning" stage where I collect ideas, rewrite chapters, and do some general plot house-cleaning. At some point during that stage, I will - inevitably - catch some inspiration from somewhere and launch back into another frantic blitz. Such is the way writing goes with me.
