Quanna Parker, The Last Comache Chief...………..

Loved these two. Nothing I've ever read fiction or non-fiction compared with To Kill A Mockingbird.

"The Good Old Boys" for me. Kelton is very Texan and very authentic.

It's more important to read to your children. Cathy started talking at 9 months. It was heartwarming to hear her in her room pretending to read. She kept repeating do more, do more. I finally figured it was from a Dr Suess book called Put me in the zoo. It pays to read to your children. Literally. She got a National Merit Scholorship.

it's nonfiction, but I like the series C.J. Box wrote about a Wyoming game warden. I also enjoy Clive Cussler, especially The Oregon Files series.

Read all of Joe Pickett until his oldest daughter graduated from college. Made me want to move to Paradise Valley.

"The time It never rained" is maybe the saddest book I have ever read. I was raised on a farm/ranch outside of Muleshoe and remember everyone looking for clouds in a drought year. Bank wasn't loaning money because they didn't want to foreclose on old friends. It brought back a lot of painful memories.

Elmer Kelton is maybe the best Western writer I've ever read. Zane Grey "maybe" the poorest.

I read old Westerns a lot. I have a deal with a book seller at the Bowie Flea Market. I buy the books and then trade them back on a 2 for 1 basis.

"The Heart of Everything That Is:The Untold Story of Red Cloud, An American Legend". Non Fiction, great read.

I’m reading Tom Sawyer now. There’s a Tom Sawyer volume two I wasn’t aware of that’s next. I also downloaded the complete works of Mark Twain to browse through. I need to get ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ downloaded.

Nope

Read one book one time as a kid called Old Yeller, it made me depressed. I was done with books

I rather watch the movie or see it in real life, I find reading to be boring..........
