Not a lot going on

Not a lot going on this morning around here (which is more than I can say for Dawn, poor thing), but I did manage to finish my book and update the book blog. I'm going to have to insist that all of you read the book I just read. It was fabulous.

Unfortunately, it's stalled my writing a little. It was so good that I feel like I can't follow up after it, that any words I try to put together will be impossibly weak next to it. Which isn't to say, by the way, that Chabon didn't have a few quirks that made me feel better about myself. The word 'spavined', for example, shows up nearly a dozen times. It's nice to know that not only the amateurs can fixate on a word, but the Pulitzer Prize-winning pros can too.

Debating calling it a morning and diving into my next book. Not sure my conscience will let me do that though. We shall see.
