"Angle of Repose" by Wallace Stegner. I'm at the point where they've reached Leadville, Colo. Not a pleasant place on first impression.

For some reason I've started and failed to finish that book 2-3 times. I'm determined so will have another go. I'm into another post-apocalypse book, this one is well-written: Witch of Hebron

That "Six Wives of Henry VIII" is making me have weird dreams: sitting four seats down from Thomas Cromwell, discussing Anne Boleyn in my sleep... so I decided to switch to some light reading: Ecophysiology of Riparian Cottonwoods Biology of Populus and its Implications for Management and Conservation Riparian Cottonwood Ecosystems and Regulated Flows in Kootenai and Yakima Subbasins dreaming about trees is way mo' betta.

Snow & Spire by John Scurlock. It is more than a coffee-table picture book as he interlaces the text with an interview with Jim Nelson about his first winter ascent of Slesse and background information on the North Cascades.

I know this has been recommended before but I just got around to finding a copy at the library The Big Burn - By Timothy Egan . Great history of the creation of the Forest Service and the forest fire of 1910. I find a lot of similarities in events a century ago.

After seeing the movie I read the book. up.gif up.gif up.gif The book follows the movie fairly closely and is well worth the read. The book reminded me of the book I had to read in grade school. There was a tv series on the Holocaust, and our class assignment was to watch the series, however, not having a tv, I thought I would I might escape the assignment. The teacher gave me the special assignment of reading the book.

My Mom dropped off two huge boxes of the complete works of Agatha Christie. I'm on the first one. It's actually quite entertaining!

The Wilderness Warrior; Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America by Douglas Brinkley thoroughly documents Roosevelt's formative years as well as his efforts to preserve land during his presidency. All of us have benefited from the 230 million acres of wild America that was set aside during his tenure. Many people, including Mark Twain, consider Teddy a hypocrite because of his obsessive need to hunt. The book neither promotes or views hunting with a negative slant. It offers instead a resounding accolade to the creator of the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Antiquities Act in addition to being the protector of many of our present parklands.

How is it so far? I finally got around to reading the Dark Tower series recently, and quite enjoyed it. I hear he is writing another DT book!
