The Litigators by John Grisham

I was number 319 on the waitng list for this book and I finally got it last week.  It is John Grisham's laterst , and I think each book he does get better than the last one.  It's all about sleazy lawyers who chase amublances and barely make a living.  They finally got a big case about a medicine that killed their client and the book is all about the trial and things leading up to it..Lots of personal interest in the characters...I really really liked the book...Now I have to wait for him to write another one.....

A Walk for Sunshine by Jeff Alt

I read every book I can find about the Appalachian Trail since we walked more than 800 miles of it a few years ago. The first book that got me interested was Ed Garvey's..We even named our dog after him. Jeff Alt is a good writer and he covers the trail fast enough to keep the reader going with him.  I relived the miles to Skyland Drive, and discovered that the miles in Pennsylvania are rocky and in the White Mountains the trail is like a rock climb..Maine has many rivers to cross.  Mount Katahadin is a mountain climb.  The book is an enjoyable easy chair hike..

False Impression by Jeffrey Archer

An exciting adventure from New York to England to Romania.  It involves a stolen Van Gogh painting and the woman trying to return it to the rightful owner...Jeffrey Archer writes so that you feel that you are in the middle of the  action...It's fast moving like a good adventure movie... You learn a lot about great art and how it is valued...

Into the Great Solitude, An Artic Journey by Robert Perkins

This is the  travel adventure of one man in a canoe  on the Black River which flows through the northwest territories of Canada from Great Slave Lake to the Artic Ocean He went in summer time so  he had light for 24 hours...He liked to travel at night when the sun was just on the horizon.  I am halfway through the book and I am enjoying the beautiful descriptions of nature.  He had a camera with him and the trip was made into a PBS documentary.
