Fiction

Killer Diller. I loved it, but then I adore Clyde Edgerton. We listened to the audiobook last summer while we shelled field peas. My sister and I got a good laugh over it. The first book, Walking Across Egypt was also funny.

I read Larry Watson's book, Montana 1948 which was a very good book. Then I found a "recommended book for you" link from amazon, and downloaded a book from the library by Philip Chavanne titled The Early Tales of Snow and Oakham, which I have just started. The writing is so fluid and moving--like a dream. It promises to be a true coming-of-age adventure tale--the kind of story that is dear to my heart. At 620 pages, it is much longer than most books I've read, so it might take a long time to get through this one. Kitten season has me running up and down the highways, ferrying cats and kittens from our county animal control out to humane rescue groups around the state.

Thanks so much for the farm report, Texas Progressive. I LOVE goats, though I've never had one in my life. I watch every goat video that gets posted to youtube. My favorite is the screaming goats video!
