Another book for my reading list: "Wilderness Warrior"

I'm reading Nothing to envy, ordinary lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick. This is a great read! Stories from defectors about life in North Korea. There's a lot of survival.

In the middle of TESTAMENT by David Morrell.
A Suspense story of vengeance, manhunt and wilderness survival at it's most harrowing. Hard to put down.

Douglas Brinkley (author of "Wilderness Warrior") is a terrific writer. He lives in New Orleans and has also talked and written about the whole Catrina debacle.

I have a first edition of his first book. Someday it will be worth some serious money.

Well I am reading a cookbook....yep a cookbook. Cee Dub's Dutch oven and other Camp Cookin' by C.W. "Butch" Welch - "A Back Country Guide to Outdoor Cooking spiced with tall tales" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0967264715/ref=oss_product). He is a well known back country guide/cook who had a show on RFD TV for a while.(Not sure if it's still on the air or not) Probably the only Cookbook I'll ever read from cover to cover. Mixed in with recipes and methods are stories of some of his trips.

I've just finished A Rifle Through My Drawers - A Year in the Life Of Clarissa Dickson Wright. She's a great raconteur and staunch defender of all things Hunting and Fishing and a foremost member of the Countryside Alliance. (She also writes the most brilliant Cookbooks)

I am glad you have it because I had a feeling you'd like reading it.
AS, too.
