Still reading (and writing prose). About 100 single spaced pages into the new first draft novel, though I've stopped posting up parts of it here because the narrative has jumped around a bit and I've left unwritten parts to be filled later with only a few notes, so that the narrative is a bit choppy now, so it may be that no one will see it now until 2nd draft stage. I just finished this today. Great read about a life as a oyster man around Long Island Sound and the things one did as a working boat man through 50 years. Jones has written: "Driftin" "Short Voyages" & "BackWaters" which all rate up there as just as good or better than William Least-Heat Moon's books. (But those are great too.) Recommend him as great fun.
