I listened to another 75 minutes of Crazy Horse yesterday in the gym---I like his style--instead of history, I'd say his genre is more "creative non-fiction" I'll review it, I'm sure.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-8721517154898517522008-05-06T05:17:00.000-04:002008-05-06T05:17:00.000-04:00I will also be doing the SRC - my books are:Dead U...I will also be doing the SRC - my books are:<BR/><BR/>Dead Until Dark<BR/>Mudbound<BR/>Thirteen Moons (audible version)<BR/><BR/>I hope you like the Crazy Horse book!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552248284380193013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-31786005197138220682008-05-05T21:46:00.000-04:002008-05-05T21:46:00.000-04:00Scarlet, anyone can join--check out the linksEd, w...Scarlet, anyone can join--check out the links<BR/><BR/>Ed, with your MIL in residence, it sounds like the perfect time to invest in an ipod and listen to books :) As for vacation time--I do get a lot, but I also put in a lot of 60-70 hour weeks.<BR/><BR/>Murf, I always get nervous when a yankee starts talking about barbeque (or do you just mean "grilling out" as opposed to roasting a pig?)<BR/><BR/>Maggie, after living in Texas, Mississippi might be a step up :)<BR/><BR/>Sherman, we're going to be in the Quetico, which is the Ontario side of the Boundary Waters. I've never been there, so it'll be a new experience, supposedly the fishing is better than up in the Hudson Bay lowlands where I hope to again go one day.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-54048018842463965002008-05-05T15:21:00.000-04:002008-05-05T15:21:00.000-04:00The Boundary Waters sounds great.

What a cushy job you must have. :-)<BR/><BR/>My summer plans include annoying you more, hosting a Memorial Day BBQ that has a good chance of being a disaster, taking the last class in the Technical Writing certification program, listening to Big A complain about being the oldest person in his classes, taking weekend sidetrips every so often and trying to read The Secret Knowledge of Water.Murfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859630977737647681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-66267650829836683682008-05-05T09:44:00.000-04:002008-05-05T09:44:00.000-04:00Wow, I need a job like yours where I can get that ...Wow, I need a job like yours where I can get that much time off. I'm sure the good Lord would understand but I'm not sure about my boss.<BR/><BR/>As far as the reading challenge, I'm going to try to get a few books in but right now with MIL as a perpetual guest, I'm still working on the same book I was two months ago. I'm off on an eight hour car trip to Ohio this morning so perhaps I'll get some time to read if I'm not driving and the roads aren't too rough.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-32465783842987810722008-05-05T08:30:00.000-04:002008-05-05T08:30:00.000-04:00I look forward to all your reviews.

When I was reading it, there was an obit in our paper of a woman with the same name as the main character, and I sent it to Michael Malone, who was nice enough to write back to me! I know you'll enjoy it. I will have to check out the others on your list, which seems like a lot of reading for one summer!kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-73097547899267180492008-05-04T23:50:00.000-04:002008-05-04T23:50:00.000-04:00Land of Many Lakes Bound!

I'm guessing, but cannot promise, we will see the beginnings of the mini-Mississippi.<BR/><BR/>Anaheim for a conference and two separate appearances in Starkville and Jackson Mississippi promoting blogging and reading, will be my work travels.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for joining the Southern Reading Challenge! I have two going on at the same time: the one you as a blogger joined and the one my coworkers joined as non-bloggers learning the art. If any of them stop by could you give them a warm southern welcome? Actually, right now I'm hoping they will write a second post. ;D<BR/><BR/>This leads me into my current money situation. I promised them the pewter full of pecans ($45 plus shipping), so I'll be giving a lesser version for bloggers at Maggie Reads.

Book reading right now for me tends to be a luxury that doesn't happen very often.<BR/><BR/>On Thursday, my wife and I are planning to go to Mexico City with our pastor for five days. I think our main role will be relationship building with a church down there.Tim Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305530681191503858noreply@blogger.com
