It's when I'm reading something else that I'm most often inspired to write something of my own. Unfortunately, there's not much I can add to this post over at lemuria's blog. Matterhorn should be on your list of books to read this summer.
Also, if you haven't seen this bookstore (which is likely given that I live something like 10 hours from it...), you should check out their website. Their first editions club has guided me to several books and new authors I wouldn't have found otherwise.
Also, check out the little border that exists at the top of their pages. So much that's good there...
