Night Table Reading (this is partial list of the books stacked on the nightstand, stuffed in the nightstand, stacked beside the nightstand and the ones under the bed):
The Writers Journey, Mythic Structure for Writers, Christopher Vogler (recommended by my friend – I’m name-dropping once again! – the lovely artist/memoirist Barbara Robinette Moss)
Lost Mountain, Erik Reece (winner of the Sierra Club’s David R. Brower Award for Environmental Journalism) – important account of mountaintop removal in eastern Kentucky – what are we doing to the Earth?
The Snake Stone, Jason Goodwin
Belshazzar’s Daughter, Barbara Nadel – both of these mysteries are set in Turkey and they are fantastic!
The Constant Princess, The Other Boleyn Girl, both by Philippa Gregory – I’m overdosing on Tudors for some reason
Coal Black Horse, Robert Olmstead – lovely writing, thought-provoking – the selection for 2008 On the Same Page Cincinnati
Murder In The Garden, Elizabeth Ironside – not your usual British mystery
And coming through my ear-phones: Stormy Weather by Lou Rawls – remastered from the 1960s original - I remember my parents dancing to this one
