The book I just finished yesterday was similar, Jack. Travels with Charley by Steinbeck. Haven't decided what's next on my list. May catch up on some magazines before picking the next book.

I am reading Dead Man's Walk, not my favorite but I have to finish a book I start(some kind of personality quirk). I have caught up on my magazines so not sure what is next, probably back to sci-fi or fantasy.

I'm starting the book you recommended for me, Jack, with the people you knew . Anyone that you've known and worked with , gives me a whole new "insider perspective" , as I proceed, that helps me feel included in a special adventure. Can't wait to get into it more asap.

I discovered three additional books that Douglas Adams, one of my favorite authors, had written outside the Hitchhiker series. I didn’t know they existed until a couple of months ago. I’m on the third and final one now.


Eh...wot?

John Valillant's boook is highly recommend - 'tIGER". Although I really like Steinbeck, I thought "Travels with Charlie" was his worst.

When I first started it, I really liked it, but the further I got into it, it seemed to get pretty darn liberal, which made it much harder to enjoy.

The way of the hermit by Ken Smith.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Jack,

What did you think of the book "Blueprint" by Christakis I sent you a few months ago?

I hope you enjoyed it. That is way above my comprehension level.

I have been reading Brown Bears minds lately. Had wolves, moose, brown bears and black bears the other evening while hunting.

One of the best books I ever read, if you read this book and don’t have respect for tigers your a nutcase.

Another sf/fantasy fan. I'm more of a sf fan than fantasy, but if the Author is good, it is good also. Just reread David Weber's In Fury Born which is mainly mil-scifi but has a bit of crossover with fantasy. Never tried Larry McMurtry's books I didnt care for the movies even though my wife loves them, so never had an interest in reading the books. Besides I grew up on Louis L'Amour and he pretty much ruined me for other western writers.
