In nonfiction (well, sort of) I'm reading The Gospel of Judas.  In 
fiction, I'm reading Sarah Waters' new book, The Night Watch.  I'll be 
catching up on my Terry Pratchett this summer.  I began my 
Pratchett-ing with Thud! and have been working my way backwards through 
his novels.  I've read The Fifth Elephant, Jingo, Monstrous Regiment, 
Feet of Clay, and I'm now all the way back to the beginning with 
Guards, Guards!  (If you don't read Terry Pratchett, you don't know 
what you're missing.  The man is a comic genius.  He's also quite 
prolific.  Melynda read somewhere that he accounts for 5% of the UK's 
total book sales.)

A quick note from Missoula -- earlier this evening I saw a woman 
walking two sheep on dog leashes, and then, not five minutes later, I 
saw three mule deer crossing the bridge over the Clark Fork next to the 
Doubletree Hotel.  Downtown.  The locals tell me this is nothing 
unusual for Missoula.  A few weeks ago, a mother black bear and her cub 
were spotted crossing Broadway, the city's main drag.

Montana is an odd, odd place . . . I'm thinking I'll write a book 
called "A Lesbian Runs Through It."
