We don't do things small here in the Wild West. It's go big or go home. So I got me a biiiiiig buncha books.
I just got home. I was going to sit down and read one of these but instead I got the urge to knit a bunny. So weird when that happens (when you're about to read but then you find yourself knitting a bunny). I know you know what I mean.

Oh how I love to knit!
Since August of 2011 I've been using a Canon EOS 60D with an EF 18-200mm kit lens and an EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens.
I know precisely what you mean. :)

OOH! Book reviews please. With limited time to allow for reading, knitting, quilting, other fun stuff, due to work. Your taste in reading material will be as sound as every-thing else you do.nw

You have got to read Annie Dillard's "The Living". It is one of the best books I have read.

I've been collecting Ivan Doig books to read soon ever since I heard an interview on Diane Rehm. They're about life in Montana many moons ago.

Alicia, could you post a list of your pile o' books? I'd love to know what you wound up getting. (And I, too, love Wallace Stegner!)
Posted by: Kristen | January 27, 2011 at 04:23 PM
Stegner & Doig are both the best--time well spent

I read Angle of Repose and loved it! I totally forgot about that book, but you'll love it!

Wallace Stegner is the best, and Angle of Repose is one of HIS best. One of my favorite books of all time. I look forward to your thoughts on the others as well.

I have those moments also when I want to do one thing but I end up doing something totally different. I try not to figure that one out.

Stegner's Angle of Repose is one of the best books I have ever read. Enjoy all those goodies!

Oh, you will love Sara Donati's Into The Wilderness series. It's one of those books that you wish you hadn't read yet, so you could discover it all over again.
It is like stepping back into history and the series gets better as you go along. Hope you enjoy it!
Michelle.

Into the Wilderness is one of my favorite books!
Posted by: Laura | January 27, 2011 at 05:47 PM
Oh, Sara Donati. LOVED those books. And the #2 in the series includes characters briefly from another series I love - Outlander by Diana Gabaldon which is from about Culloden through the American fight for independence. Again, love!
That stack looks like a good one.
