    <body><![CDATA[I re-read this last weekend and it's just as beautiful and lyrical and fully encompassing of the West as it was the first time I read it.  You really can't be a Westerner, no matter how long your family has been here, until you've read 'This House of Sky'.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not my fave or the Doig books, although even as I type that I can picture some of the landscapes he describes so well - which is what always makes me read whatever I can find of his on the shelf. The Rascal Fair series is still my fave though.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A slow read--although that may be my fault, to an extent--but a worthwhile one, as Doig's control of language takes the coming-of-age story and dresses it up into something lovely to read.  Interestingly, he deals with the conundrum of the memoir not by ending it upon his departure for college, leav...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31265098">more...</a>]]></body>
