This week I read a book by Wallace Stegner, one of my favorite authors.
Angle of Repose is his Pulitzer Prize winning
and one of my all-time favorites.
However, the book I read was Crossing To Safety.
It is right up there on my favorites list
along with any of the Ivan Doig books.

I read The Eleventh Man, by Ivan Doig. Ex-cell-ent!

I went to our local library today and
checked out some promising books by authors that I like.

Tracy Chevalier
The Virgin Blue
Falling Angels
I've read Remarkable Creatures and really liked it.

Michael Crichton
Pirate Latitudes
This one was found as full text after his death.

Alexander McCall Smith
Corduroy Mansions
The Dog Who Came In From The Cold
Both had pictures of a Jack Russell on their cover.
They are not from the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series.
I really liked La's Orchestra Saves the World
as well as the above mentioned series.
