My April Reading List
Posted in Reading
|
We're in the Mountains Not Over the Hill - Tales and tips from seasoned women backpackers by Susan Alcorn - I have a certain friend that I'd like to buy this for; I think she'd really enjoy it.
My Antonia by Willa Cather - a nice novel.
Waiting - the true confessions of a waitress by Debra Ginsberg - very entertaining and informative.
Crossing Over - a Mexican family on the migrant trail by Ruben Martinez - I confess I've only read about a fourth of this. I was really hoping for some insight on illegal immigration, but I'm having to slog through a lot of other stuff to find it. I think I will try to at least skim the rest of the book, or check out certain chapters. The author definately has a left slant. It's interesting how a true story can be told in so many different ways with so many different meanings.
A Greater Glory by James Scott Bell - a Christian novel I just started this, but it looks to be a quick read. I also have on hand its sequel: A Highter Justice.

I want to take a more laid back approach to homeschooling and am interested in your unschooling methods. I also like to garden, so have been able to get some insight into that as well. Thanks!

Hi Suburban Farmer,
I am the author of "We're in the Mountains Not over the Hill: Tales and Tips from Seasoned Women Backpackers" (which you mentioned in your "April Reading") and I hope you, and your friend, enjoy reading my book. If anyone is interested in receiving my twice-monthly (free) newsletter on hiking/backpacking, they can send me a message at backpack45*yahoo.com (Replace the * with @ before sending the message).
I turned 65 this year and find myself backpacking more miles each year than the one before. I guess I will do so as long as I'm able--and it remains rewarding!
Happy trails,
Susan Alcorn
