Yes, I've read The Big Sky 4 or 5 times. The Way West a couple times, and These Thousand Hills. Was not aware of Fair Land until now. I keep a set of those three books in each location. No idea how many times I've read them One of those.........born too late series of books !! A few years ago I visited Three Island Crossing . Quite the feat those people pulled off!

"Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas Read this book this year. Crazy worthy. Wish they had it when I got married. Would have made a world of difference along the way. My Mrs. really enjoyed it as well. We gave it as a true Christmas gift last year to all our married children. Mark, just started this one myself. (Btw, to other Tman members, its not bragging to say you read marriage books. It show you take marriage seriously. As husbands, we're responsible if you have a good/bad marriage. So, reading marriage books shows you've cowboyed up) Alistair MacLean has some good reads Bows on the little delta by Glenn St. Charles

Ditto. I am fortunate enough to own a copy and I read it once a year. The first time I read it was as a free PDF I downloaded from somewhere online. Probably got me on a watch list but that ship has likely sailed anyway. Mike

A recent read I was given, and had no expectations for - but REALLY enjoyed - is The Which Way Tree by Elizabeth Crook.

A good one I couldn't put down lately was;
Spirit of the Rainforest: A Yanomamo Shaman's story, by Mark Ritchie.
Great non-fiction read of natives in South America. Several reviews said it should be required reading in every school. A quick quote from the cover; Jungleman, Yanomamo shaman, is sharp with his words. It is their cultural way, where the first words out of one's mouth show intent for all that follow. "These nabas (white people) might know a lot of things, but they are dumber than we Yanomamo. Even animals care who watches when they mate."
Nuff said. Best read other than scripture for me this year.
