Book talk

My friend, for whom I originally set up this blog decided she did not care to keep it after all, so in the spirit of recycling, I am taking it over for book talk.  The book I am almost finished reading now is Barbarian Days, but William Finnegan, about his life as a surfer.  It won the Pulitzer Prize.  Although I not only do not surf or even like the water, I also do not mountain or rock climb but I subscribe to Outside Magazine and read avidly on all those subjects.  The connection is outdoor adventure, which I love, and, in fact, I will end this first post now so I can take my dog for a walk.  More on this book later.
