First things first -- a rec for an absolutely fascinating article in Slate. It's a long excerpt from the original in The Paris Review, and is about ancient cave art in the U.S., specifically in the Cumberland Plateau (mostly in Tennessee). This is a terrifically atmospheric piece of writing, and it came close to giving me goosebumps as I read it late last night. Some of you may find it a little too heavy on the woo-factor, but it's still a very, very interesting report -- America's Ancient Cave Art, by John Jeremiah Sullivan.
Cloudy and much cooler today, but no rain. Almost finished with The Poisoner's Handbook, which has also been an excellent read.

I'm closing in on the end of The Poisoner's Handbook and have really enjoyed it. (One of the great things about a Nook is I can read in public without anyone seeing the cover and asking what the hell kind of thing I'm reading. :D)

The Poisoner's Handbook is so good, and offers all kinds of opportunities for fic. *g*

In my own readerly wanderings, I'm currently reading Super Sad True Love Story. I really enjoy the writing and world building within it (a near future America that's falling apart and everyone is way too involved with their social networks) although I'm not sure if I like the plot. But I must like it, since I'm nearly halfway through after just five days.

Storage is one of those industries that has just boomed over the past few years. The units spring up like weeds on all these vacant land lots.
