Brused Books in Pullman. I used to visit it all the time when I’d fly out to visit my now-wife who was in school at WSU. Always flew home with a heavier suitcase than what I came with. I’m not sure how covid is treating them, but I know they have things organized enough that they can find authors and titles and would ship books to people too, or at least they used to. Prices were good too!

Ha! I know it well.

Good deal! I have a stack O’Connor books that I blame Brused Books for!

The Old Man and the Boy, by Robert Ruark. Excellent reading at any age.

Should alsobe required reading in 3rd grade or so, and for all new fathers.

 

[Harrier]

Now reading President Obama’s memoir, “A Promised Land.” It’s impressive that he wrote it himself with no ghostwriter, although that means the accounts of his terms in office range from fascinating to mundane.

Just started Billy Molls book Alaska and Me.

It will be one of the best retirement books you ever read.

Just settling in to start Death in the Long Grass. Looking forward to this one.

I reread most of Capstick's books about every year. Sometimes he writes like a 12 year old but the stories and lens on being an African PH/Game control officer in that time are riveting.

Re-reading My Side of the Mountain. Visiting some of the books I loved when I was younger because time is currently limited and these young reader books are something I can put down and pick up much later while still remembering the context and general flow of the story.

I've logged about half of that list so far. There's still a lot of McGuane left to read though.

Cormac propagates numerous wtf and 'what did I just read' moments.

Absolutely. I've actually quit a couple of his books (or at least one) because I was pretty distraught with what I'd just read, and realized I really wasn't enjoying it.

I'm in the middle of "Rythm of War" too. Hoping it picks up a little bit. The first and second books were so good, they got me through book 3 on faith.

It took years to finish Suttree...and I don't know whay I finished Child of God. He is a very macabre disciple of Faulkner, whom I've started and stopped many times.

It's definitely a bit slower than the first 2, I'm hoping it pics up as well.

 

[ThunderNocked]

Just finished Tony Russ's Guide to Hunting Dall Sheep in Alaska revision 2.
Starting a book called AllIn that was given to me by Randy McPherson.

I read All the Pretty Horses and The Road... I decided I don't need that kinda negativity in my life

Faulkner... but people have a hard time with Dune? I'ma just gonna say it... if he was a HT'r I'd just look at the pictures and keep on scrolling.
