For a guy who got his degree in English, I don't read much anymore. Except when I'm camping. No TV, no Internet - what else are you going to do?
So these are the books I've read so far.
Red Threads, by Rex Stout. An old school murder mystery from the late 1930s. Features a cigar-chomping detective and a plucky fabric-designing heroine. Gotta love it.
Bad Chili, byJoe Lansdale. Set in Texas in the 90s. Don't even know what to say about this one.
High Lonesome, by Louis L'Amour. Just exactly like every other Louis L'Amour. Which is to say, awesome.
Right now I'm in Moab's fantastic little public library, using their electricity to update my blog. Last time I was here, I was finishing up a murder mystery of my own, called "Murder by Wolf." You can still get it from Amazon as a Kindle ebook. It'll set you back 99 cents.
Check in the Moab Library for a couple of books---Artifacts of Death, a mystery by Rich Curtin and two by Edward Abbey, Monkey Wrench Gang and Desert Solitaire. All of these are set in and around Moab and the Arches area. I think you'd enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions, Lisa. I've actually already read Desert Solitaire.
