Lately I've been...

Writing
Or rather rewriting my book for young readers set during the Counter-Reformation.
(And clearly not writing on this blog)

Reading
Harry Potter again, from start to finish, because I saw a trailer for Half-Blood Prince and got a little too excited for my age.
Doctorow's The March - brilliant, of course, but not Ragtime. I know that's unfair, but that's what happens to people who write one of the great books of the 20th century.
Michael Dirda's Book by Book, which was a complete waste of my time, his publisher's ink, paper, and over-enthusiastic cover blurbs. Read like an undergraduate blog.

Watching
Tenko on DVD. Remember that?
The Lemon Tree

Waiting for
The Blessed premiere at the Melbourne Film Festival
