    <body><![CDATA[I think this is my favorite book.  First serialized in the New Yorker, Ian Frazier's Great Plains details his stumbling upon the plains after attending a Chicago wedding, and not returning to his NYC home for several years.  In that time he travled around the midwest and wrote about the natural life...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21400281">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Fantastic - Fraziers best. This is how to do &quot;landscape writing.&quot; Elliptical, lyric, eclectic. I was deeply moved by this book, esp. as someone that had felt the same thing as Frazier has, that the Great Plains are literally at the heart of the american project, and to visit them it to wan...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5307417">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a fascinating look at an area of the country I had never really paid much attention to before (and I'm not the only one to ignore it, the author notes). I didn't realize how much impact the Great Plains had on the shaping of our country. I loved the writer's way of poetically capturing the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34734323">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[<br/>Though a little dated now (the book was written in the '80s and has a few references to missile silos and the Cold War) Ian Frazier provides a personal journey through the history of the Great Plains.  In addition to solidifying the sense of place of this massive area, you really get a sense f...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20862799">more...</a>]]></body>
