In my
quest of trying to read all the books I bought
In
the 1980’s and 1990’s, I came across this one on
my
bookcase. These are all books I bought
with the
Idea
I would read them someday when I retire.
Well,
14
years into retirement, I am getting a start on them
with
every rainy day, this year.. It is my bucket list
to
pass on these gems after I am done reading them. Let some one
else
enjoy them.. instead of catch dust
on
the shelves.
This
one I don’t recall buying. I did buy it at a yard sale,
as it
is signed by the author to Karin. But I
am sure the
interest
I felt in it… to buy it.. was because it was a writer
from Idaho .. I like local
writers.
Being
I was also doing my Monday chores, it was spotty
reading
until the afternoon. I, also, was trying
to catch
up on
my magazines reading as well. They are about a
half
hour read at the most. Time and The Week. So read
them
first, after a glance at Shirttail Journalist, as I
wanted
to not get interrupted with that one.
The
first chapter and they are all short.. was called IDAHO ,
and
his description of the state. First off,
you have to
understand
this book was written in late 1970’s and finished
1981. So we are talking back 30 some odd years ago.
Of
course, Idaho
has changed a great deal from then..he
talks
of the Idaho
a lot of us remember… yet with all the
changes..
he hit is right one the dot, for today.. So much
of it
is still true.. just you have to look harder to find it.
I am
really going to enjoy reading this book. 1. it has
short
chapters, (due to being from his column), so if
I
have to put it down, I won’t have to be mid story. 2.
the
subject matter, and with humor. Humor is
my
favorite
book of choice these days.. And I like about
real
places.. At least 90 % of the time.
