"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

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.

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

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!

Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and his Revolutionary Comic Strip

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!
