Losing Oneself...

This is to all the readers out there. I have managed to read another couple of books since my last book post. I know you all have crazy busy lives but somehow those who love to read still manage to find some small part of the day to lose themselves in a good book. The first book is called, "Last of the Breed". The author is Louis L'amour. Now some of you may say, "who?", and some of you may actually recognize him. He is famous for his western fiction that contains a lot of historical details. Yes, you read correctly, westerns. My appetite for reading has led me down many avenues. Unfortunately, self-help books and sci-fi never really piqued my interest. I really enjoyed this book. Louis L'amour was very knowledge about American natives and their traditions and cultures. It is fascinating reading about the skills that they perfected in the art of war and survival. It is also sad to learn of the disappearing of so many different tribes. The author uses fictional story form to teach you about the many skills of the early settlers as well as the Native Americans, much like Gerald Lund with the "Work and the Glory", series. My other good read was, "My Sister's Keeper",. Kathy Nelson loaned me this book and I must say I have a little more information on the subject of lukemia. The ending was the most shocking part of the book. Don't worry! I won't tell it for those of you who plan on reading it. There is currently a "movie" version being previewed at the theater. It will be interesting to see how much they kept to the book and we all know that they don't always do that. If anyone has read any good books lately, let me know. I'm always looking for a good read and the library is within walking distance of my home. So I'll get exercise and feed my mind as well, lol!
