some great reads


I am a few chapters in to T. C. Boyle's "When the Killings Done" and I am loving every word of it.  The first chapter is spellbinding, then the book gets even better.  Two ships wrecks (one from the 1940's and the other from gold rush days), a woman trapped on a deserted island, a hermit, a little bit of World War II and a modern day environmental battle.  All that is in the first few chapters of the book - and somehow it all fits together.
 

For a quicker read check out Alan's excellent post about an evening sail on the Bay River.  We are stuck in a little nor'easter right now - cold, rainy and windy.  This story really brightened my day.  Thanks, Alan.  (Hope you don't mind that I borrowed a photo.)
