Ruark's "The Old Man And The Boy". For my money, Ruark could write circles around Hemingway.
Charlie 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?

a good book to read to the kids was harris and me... by gary paulson... i read a cpl chapters every night it was hilarious.... they all remember that as quality time !! 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.
