One of my favorites. Your link didn’t work, so here’s one that does so others can enjoy the crushing weight of guilt, responsibility, and dread that it imbues into the Christmas holiday.

This book was my bible as a kid. Had no " stinkin internet". I used to drool over the fish Corey Ford caught. He seemed pretty old to me back then.

I told my dad how much I enjoyed The Ledge - how it left me feeling something new and true and real. So he sat down and read it while my mom and wife and kids made lefse. It kind of put him in a bad mood and though it ain’t a happy story I was surprised. I don’t know if it is his age or what, because he used to like the heavy stuff.
I think of the last 4 words, “absolved of his morality”, a fair bit, and think that it’s beautiful and depending on one’s perspective there’s a lot to unpack there.

A copy of "Critics and Criticism" by R.S. Crane, is inbound. For some reason Los Angeles got added to the Itinerary, (it shipped from Aurora, IL to Salt Lake City). If it doesn't go up in flames and makes it to Montana, I will let you all know if it is worth all the hype.

Guess it depends on ones version of light reading, but for me this book has sections I struggle to slow down and PROCESS.
Amazing eye-opener to all things fire. But also a truly depressing slap in the face of human dependency on petroleum.
No denying, our planet is getting warmer.
Focus centralized on the Ft.McMurry fire in Alberta.
No...this is not leaning propoganda.

My intention with this thread was not necessarily to talk about good books. But to provide links to free online articles/stories that people found not just informative or entertaining, but genuinely well written and likely of interest to others.
The New Yorker has some podcasts featuring McGuane - free, good writing, though it's in audio format: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/search?term=new yorker mcguane
