I've been using Alternote (alternoteapp.com) for awhile and really like it. It syncs via the Evernote API so I don't have to import anything and can access my notes on my phone with Evernote. I think they're making a mobile app to eliminate the need to use any Evernote app at all.

Also, my girlfriend just sneaked Raymond Carver's What We Talk About When We Talk About Love into my computer bag the other day. I haven't read him in a long time, but coincidentally was just very recently talking to a friend about What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami, which is mostly unrelated to the Carver book, but also a really good read about his life of running.
