Just finished Julia Child's My Life in France. Boy is that lady a good storyteller, albeit her grand-nephew takes much credit for putting together the book. I envy her memory, and now I don't feel so bad about keeping so many old letters and photos. They jog the memory cells that have gone to sleep.
Read through the prologue of Water for Elephants before my eyelids couldn't stay open longer last night. Went to Bharti Kirchner's 826 Workshop on Writing the First Page of a Novel, and based on what Kirchner said and other books I've read, Sara Gruen would get an A+.
Speaking of 826 How to Write Like I Do workshops, I learned loads from the queen of books, Ms. Nancy Pearl, this past month on writing book reviews. Check out the soon-to-be-released schedule of workshops for 2010: http://www.826seattle.org/writelikeido/bios.html
