Needed some escapist fiction

[reuben]

Read this a while back. Excellent read of life and death and love in a rural town.

I've only just read the sleeve on this one but will get started on it today.

A very different approach to the Founding Fathers (USA). Agriculture and gardening were key to personalities and decision making in ways one may not have suspected. Well researched, not too dry, a pretty good summer read.

At great risk to blowback: We the Living by Rand.

[coffeecake]

The Feast by Margaret Kennedy. Nice summer read with very convincing characters.

Some historical fiction..by author of "The Sparrow"
Hard to read Doc w/o imagining Val Kilmer speaking...

One of my favorite authors, James Lee Burke, "Every Cloak Rolled In Blood". The story itself, some psychic, other worldly aspects, is not something I normally get into. However, Burke is such a fantastic writer, his prose is a pure joy to read. I am likely to read it again soon, as I think I will pick up, or better understand, some of the events and characters.

I'm in the middle of Steinbeck's My Travels With Charlie in Search of America. Excellent audio book read by Gary Sinese.

Peter Zheutlin very loosely based his book The Dog Went Over the Mountain on Steinbeck's book, which I am planning on listening to next...

Peter wrote the excellent book Around the World on Two Wheels, which describes the crazy life of an ancestor of his... Highly recommended, if you like bikes.

Just finished reading Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey again. Fun to revisit this book after 30 or so years.

"For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!"

Ha! Been 30 years since I read that too then I headed out west for 6 weeks of Geology field camp.

Yeah, hopefully you didn't get the illustrated edition like I did. In either case, it's a great read.
