5. (audiobook) Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman -- It must take me a long time to get through audiobooks because I started this one last summer, and didn't get around to finishing it until a few weeks ago. I usually listen to them while doing something else such as walking, gardening, or knitting. This was a collection of short stories. As always, they were very imaginative. I have no idea where this guy gets the inspiration for these stories, but I only know that I wish I were half as creative. I've had an idea for a novel percolating at the back of my mind and even written a chapter or two, but when I sit down to outline it, I feel like I'm hitting my head against a wall. Sometimes I feel like my problem is that, while I'm good at expressing myself on paper, I don't have much to write about. You know? And on a somewhat related note, it's a shame that the writing community I was in that had the weekly challenges died. One of these days I'm going to have to see if I can find something similar...

6. Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories --

emygination gave this book to me as a Hanukkah present. A collection of short stories-- some of them very creepy-- by various authors. I think my favorites were "Ringing the Changes" by Robert Aickman and "The Sweeper" by A.M. Burrage. By the way, can you tell that I really like ghost stories? :)
