I have started reading a lot in between writing spurts. This week I read Annie Dillard's Teaching a Stone to Talk and Kobo Abe's The Ark Sakura. I read not only for the story but to enjoy the writers style and learn from it. I've been spending hours reading and writing and the day flows in such an enjoyable pattern. I've also been checking out blogs. Try bomblog. Also I find the New Yorker Podcasts

to be very good.
