My beautiful sister made a soundtrack for The Monsters of Templeton--I think it's brilliant. Since I wrote the book I've been thinking about what my own soundtrack would be and have it almost done in my head.
Until I get it down, though, this one is pretty amazing:
My Beloved Monster--The Eels
Our life is not a movie or maybe--Okkervil River
Black Dirt--Sea Wolf
This Town--The Silent Years
The Weight of Lies--Avett Brothers
Darlin' Do Not Fear--Brett Dennen
Is There a Ghost--Band of Horses
Past in Present--Feist
Melody Day--Caribou
Strangers--The Kinks
Family Tree--Belle and Sebastian
White Chalk--PJ Harvey
Misunderstood--Wilco
She has pretty amazing taste in music--I'm going to try to post this as a playlist in iTunes.

I posted these songs, together with the songs posted on the Large Hearted Boy blog, up on iTunes as an iMix entitled "Monsters of Templeton Soundtrack."
And you're right -- your sister has very cool taste.
My wife and I love the book. Thanks!
