I meant to post this a while back.

Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History

This an interesting read. Sheds a lot of light on coyote populations. It is also very bais, in favor of the coyote.

He's been on Joe Rogan's podcast a few times.   Very interesting to hear what he has to say about coyotes.   


Yup, going fishing

Thanks for posting this one.    I'm interested in learning more about them since they wake me up every night!

I'm wrapping up Abbey's Desert Solitaire, I've enjoyed it.  Doug how was the Hillbilly Elegy?  I have it on the shelf, but haven't queued it up yet.

It was good not great. I think I was maybe too educated on the basic premise. The personal side of the book was the highlight for me. How folks rise up from shitty upbringings is amazing. He is 1 in a thousand? A hundred thousand?

Went back and re-read Rocket Boys after that. Another great story of perseverance.

I'm into Hillbilly Elegy now. Not loving it so far. I'll continue to muddle onward.....

I enjoy some of King's work — others, not so much. I especially enjoyed "Under the Dome." That was a long read.

The Jonestown book, "A Thousand Lives," was good. It's amazing and frightening at what and how people succumb to manipulative treatment. I was glued to this book.

Ray Comfort?  This Ray Comfort!!!   

8-13 bucks on Amazon - save your money or buy a half dozen or so of Marvel Comics.

I want to read that brook trout book. Would like to read your review first, Doug.

Another good read. Great example of a book that's better than the movie.

When I initially read Peter Benchley's, "Jaws," I was taken back by the scenes that were in the book but never existed in the ever popular seventies flick. Love that book/movie.

The detail that you purchased Comfort screams cynicism.  I hope you found it in the bargain bucket at Wal-Mart and had a fragile moment. 

Whelen and Angier (1965) are on their way to my mailbox.

I'm unable to recall where, or, really, why, I purchased that book. It was a waste of time and money. Cynical, I am.

How are the galliagan books? I read nail knot years ago and had trouble staying awake long enough to read it. Did they get any better?

They're all sort of similar. I took breaks while reading them all. They're okay.
