Desert Solitaire
Ed Abbey
     Our Best Seller.. If you are travelling the Southwest, Abbey is mandatory reading. Ed documents his days in Solitude as the first back country ranger at Arches National Park. Capturing the divine beauty of the desert. Irreverent, yet eloquent.

Capitol Reef – Canyon Country Eden
     I love this book because it captures the splendor of the area in a beautiful pictorial format. It has been fun to share Capitol Reef with others though the pages of this book.

All the Little Live Things
Wallace Stegner
     An interesting title for a book that finally reveals its origin. The most sensuous narrative of one mans grief over the loss of a child and the clash of generation gap. The confrontation of the human condition with the predictable and sometimes unpredictable clock of life. This story drew me into a world of repeat and replay of sadness. The basic tenant of “better to have loved and lost, than to have never experienced love” jumps out as a message of the true texture of life.      --Reda Herriott

The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency
Alexander McCall Smith

      A Catchy, Cute Titled book that I ignored – until.. A customer came into the book store and recommended this book. The customer had spent many years in Africa and guaranteed this and other books by McCall Smith a pleasant, hilarious, non-violent read. The setting for this and the other four books in the mystery series are set in Africa. Believable stories of the variety of services a detective agency might handle. Writing style and dialogue as if I were conversing with a good friend. Highly recommend for all ages.
