Kathleen Norris: Acedia & Me: A Marriage, Monks, and a Writer's Life
It seems like whenever I need something...Kathleen Norris puts out a book that totally taps into the issues I am struggling with. Acedia is more than boredom or slothfulness...it's a state of mind often suffered by monks in the desert...it is the abscence or loss of care but in a deep way that haunts you. I totally know of what she speaks and this book helped to lift my spirit. (*****)Ann Packer: Songs Without Words (Vintage Contemporaries)
I loved The Dive from Clausen's Pier...and the beginning of this novel really brought me in...however halfway thru...I grew bored. The estrangement of the women didn't really seem realistic to me. Packer is a beautiful writer...but I felt like I'd read this book before and it didn't really work for me. (**)Haven Kimmel: The Used World: A Novel
I'm about to give Haven Kimmel the best comparision ever...this book reminds me of an Anne Tyler novel while not being an Anne Tyler novel. She paints amazing portraits of the women in this novel...and I just loved it. (****)Christopher Paolini: Brisingr (Inheritance, Book 3)
I enjoyed this...however I skimmed a lot of it because I felt a lot of the book was going over the same old area. And when I found out at the end there is a Book Four! I felt gypped! (***)Barbara Kingsolver: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
still in the middle of this...but it's very interesting. And makes me crave a garden and a family to cook with... (***)Tim Weiner: Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA
just started...Adriana Trigiani: Home to Big Stone Gap: A Novel
This is the last in the Big Stone Gap novels and Adri's best. BUY IT...READ IT!! (*****)Truman Capote: In Cold Blood
I finally read this...great. (****)Eva Ibbotson: The Star of Kazan
I loved this. Ms. Ibbotson's more realistic fiction might be even better than her pure fantasy. (****)Christopher Paolini: Eldest (Inheritance, Book 2)
I picked this book up again and find it much more compelling than I did in September. It's not as good as Eragon...but I'm still reading every page and wondering...when will Book 3 hit the stores? (***)Christopher Paolini: Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1)
I just finished this. Loved it. (****)J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Jessica...girl I finally finished this and I have to say...I LOVED it! Fantastic. Can't wait for the next one. (*****)Susanna Clarke: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell: A Novel
I finished this over the weekend. You need to be committed to reading this...but it is OH so worth it. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it! (*****)

Those are interesting wall pieces but I like them. And to answer your question, your body has an internal alarm it gets used to. Unfortunately I have that issue as well when I hope to sleep in.
