"All this she must possess," added Darcy, "and to all this she must yet
add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by
extensive reading."
--Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
I've recently discovered a fascinating blog called Writers Read.
Each post features an author talking about what he or she is reading and why. What makes it most exciting is that the books are often what you'd least expect that author to be reading.
Last month, Writers Read asked me to talk about what I've been reading, and the post is up here. Do visit Writers Read and its related blog, Campaign for the American Reader, where you'll find a shorter version of my post.
