One of the oldest bits of advice on writing is that if you want to write, read. I go through jags where I read online a lot, but in this instance I'm referring to the pile on my desk. What's interesting is when I write I tend to become influences by what I'm doing at the time - care repair, work, gaming, clocks - etc. So here is the pile on my desk right now.
