    Just one addition (all my others have already been mentioned):

    The Night We Buried Road Dog by Jack Cady. This is a novella instead of a novel, so you might have to hunt it down in a collection. It’s kind of a nostalgic ghost story, but the writing is absolutely beautiful.

    So this is a day overdue, but: Do you know why there aren’t any knock knock jokes about the Fourth of July? It’s because freedom rings.

    My wife and I really like this one:

    2 medium zucchini
    salt and pepper
    100 grams grated Parmesan
    1 t parsley
    1 t paprika
    3 eggs
    100 grams bread crumbs
    50 grams flour

    Make small grooves in zucchini with a fork. Remove ends and cut into slices about ¼ inches thick. Mix with salt and pepper and let sit for 15-20 minutes.

    Beat eggs. Mix with cheese, parsley and paprika.

    Mix bread crumbs and flour together.

    Dredge zucchini in flour with breadcrumbs, then in egg and cheese mixture.

    Fry zucchini in oil, covered, at medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Turn over and fry, covered, over low heat for 5 minutes.

    OK. My “research” indicates chips-and-ketchup eaters are certainly a minority, but we’re nowhere as weird as, say, ketchup on ice cream enjoyers. I guess I can live with this…

    I figure I’m about three to six months away from finishing the second draft of a novel. Been working on it off and on for about five years. I learned so much about writing fiction during the first draft that when I went back to re-read it, I realized that it had potential but was not all that great. I’m sure I’ll do a third draft when this is done, but it won’t be a almost-complete rewrite like the second draft was.
