That is one of the best books I have ever read. And it is one of the few that I thought was so good that I have actually reread it.
Ruark and Hemingway are both great riders but they have completely different styles.


Eh...wot?

Reading to your young kids ifs one of the best things you can do for them. I didn't do much of it but my wife read to our sons every night. They often say how much they loved those stories. And they all read a lot themselves when they were old enough. I think it had a lot to do with how well the did in school and life in general.

The series by Ralph Moody which started with Little Britches; Big Enough was another in that series. Can't remember all the titles, but I read them all a few times growing up. As has been said, Louis Lamour and Jim Kjelgard, too.

At 12 I shouldn't have read Amityville horror

That was a bad mistake

I read a small paper back when I was a kid rained in for several days in Canada. I would love to know what it was but I don't know the title or the author.

It was about a boy who had it kind of rough at home. He would go fishing by fast water in a dam or something like a dam close to town and described the red and white dare devil spoon in great detail. He also went hunting once with his uncle, who was a veteran of war, not sure which one, I think Korea. The boy describes burying his head in his uncles Chesapeake Bay Retrievers fur to mask the smell of his uncles booze bottle when opened in the truck on way to blind.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? It was not exactly an award winning novel but I would like to get a copy for old times sake.
