Amazing book. The movie was a disappointment. Did you read the introduction? Love the reasoning for the book in the first place.
On the other hand, I was reading the life story of Klaus Barbie: The butcher of Lyon. I went to a conference and lost it there, with about 30 pages to go. So bummed.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Hawaii in a few months to celebrate her birthday. I realized I know shockingly little about Pearl Harbor, so I'm hoping to correct that before visiting. The field guide is because I constantly wonder what kinds of birds I am seeing when traveling.

Quit my first audiobook. As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner.
Terrible gibberish is all I can say.
On to East of Eden by Steinbeck, already immeasurably better.
Also, just finished Dancing at the Rascal Fair by Doig. Not quite as great as I hoped based on @BackofBeyond gushing reviews, and I don't like sad... I'm a sissy that way. But still a very good book that I'll read again. And will also look into his other books.
Lastly got Mouthful of Feathers finally. Started it on my very unsuccessful bear hunt this weekend. So far great writing except for the Busse story, that dude is so arrogant...

Pretty good...
Definitely tough to follow. Bailed after the first couple chapters.
I re-read Last Stand by Punke a little while ago. Like A Sand County Almanac, it puts conservation struggles into perspective.
I also wanted to revisit the Edgar Howell parts.

Started this a week ago. Good so far.
Last Stand is good, Ridgeline is another good one from Punke if you like the historical fiction stuff
After seeing American Horse's war club (allegedly used to kill Fetterman) at the national museum of the american indian, I've always been intrigued by that battle. I let my copy of Ridgeline get chewed by a mouse, and then spilled coffee on it at elk camp last year. Need a new copy. It's historical fiction though, right?

When I was in high school my dad read a ton of Louis Lamour books , then I started reading them back in high school, entertaining stuff , don’t think I’ve read one of his books since the 80’s though
