Three or four more Columbia River Salmon books in the pipe after this. Hopefully I don't jump off a bridge before I finish.

Finished this, and then re-read Cormac McCarthy's, No Country for Old Men.
Now working on Schindler's List.

Just read/finished the newest Pickett book (Storm Watch). It is a good one.

 

[Sytes]

Onto "Oath of Loyalty" Vince Flynn/Kyle Mills.

Any interested in Spy thrillers, The Vince Flynn, Mitch Rapp series is a great read or listen (Audiobooks).

Just read/finished the newest Pickett book (Storm Watch). It is a good one.

Just used an Audible credit for it...in the library. Thx for the reminder.

I just ordered this. Its not much reading, but there are a lot of pictures. The artistry of these structures is really something, especially set against the often bleakness of their surrounds.




Ive always wanted to travel the Eurasian Steppe and Golden Altai. This pitcher book just increases the urge, tho for obvious reasons Russia is probably a pipe dream at this point.

Anyway, highly recommend.

Just finished "Same kind of different as me." And it was a great read. I laughed and cried. Highly recommend!

Ironically not a book but a book review. A female reviews a cancellation of Edward Abbey

Edward Abbey Needs No Defense: A Response to Amy Irvine's "Desert Cabal"... by Tonya Audyn Morton

A BRIEF NEW INTRODUCTION by Jim Stiles Edward Abbey once said, "The idea of wilderness needs no defense." Nor should anyone have to defend Abbey, or whatever his personal flaws might have been, thirty years after he died ---especially in the exploitive manner Irvine's alleged "sequel" chose. To

Just finished Edward Abbey Fire on the Mountain.
Read, reread, read again Hills Like White Elephants.
Pretty soon this f-ed up country will be suing teachers for providing such reading material.

Welcome to Idaho

Wow! That is one hell of a book review (or boxing match, as the case maybe). Amy Irving would probably object to the term "bitch slapped" but she certainly knows what it is, now. Will Smith, eat your heart out, this one will leave dear Amy's ears ringing and cheeks burning.

Don't think I've ever read a review like that. Many thanks.

Now to do something about this signature block....

This "review of a review" was excellent. Thanks for posting. And I too will take the Lone Ranger and rosy-bottomed skinny dippers over a bunch of collectivist claptrap.

I don't know that a single work has ever inspired love of Wilderness as much as DS.
