Near as I can figure, I may well be the most fortunate bloke alive. Consider: I live on the edge of the largest, contiguous, bear-blessed, wolverine-wandered, crane-graced, salmon-saturated stretch of wild land left on the planet.

I could (and sometimes do) board a little air taxi and trust that prop to buzz, nonstop, through mountain passes to the capital city where I can get my tooth ache fixed.

This book comes off my shelf at least once a year. Frankl's writes on the heaviest subjects yet somehow leaves me uplifted with each reading.

Sanders is a master. The construction of each sentence, each paragraph, each chapter, and the entire ext is like an exquisite set of nesting dolls. Read it for the mastery of the craft.

As I awaited delivery of Mink River, anticipation grew like a kid’s count-down to Christmas. I had visions of a story rambling (unencumbered by such pesky details as punctuation) into all the perfect places. So, image my disappointment when, all thos...more
