Favorite Authors and/or Books (click for links)

To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 1961. This is my favorite book. Beautiful, intelligent, touching. Every page contains a poem of sorts in the writing that just stops me in my reading tracks and makes me read that group of words over again. There are too many of these deep delights to mention, but here is one describing the southern ladies in the sweltering town of Maycombe, Alabama. "Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft tea cakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum." Almost everyone has seen the great movie of the same name starring Gregory Peck in its lovely black and white palette and it does justice to the book in the best ways that a movie can but as usual, the movie cannot begin to match magic of the book. Read it.
An Apetite for Life, the biography of Julie Child by Noel Riley Fitch. In a word, fascinating. I now want to read her autobiography on which a movie has been based. The movie, which will star Meryrl Streep (my fav actress) will, no doubt, be super. Can't wait. Julia Child was quite an amazing person and the foodstuff of this book makes very tasty reading.
No. 1 Ladies' Detectiv Agency Series books by Alexander McCall Smith. I had never heard of these, picked one up entitled "Blue Shoes and Happiness" and became a fan. Wonderfully written, full of great wisdoms and characters. I will be reading the entire series. Click the link here and go to Mr. McCall's delightful website with African music.
Fifty Years of Crime and Suspense from the Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. I'm a real short story fan and especially short story mysteries. Every story in this book was like opening a present. One of the best I've come across in my life long love affair with the mystery short story genre.
The Seven Mountain-Travel Books by H.W. Tilman. I love good mountain climbing tales, even the technical descriptions. This adventurer/climber (Tilman) did some extraordinary things during his life(1930's era) including being a very good writer.
Breaking Clean by Judy Blunt. I was browsing in uncharted library territory the other day and came across this book. I just finished it and can recommend it for anyone who wants to read a very forthright and well written autobiography. Judy writes about her life growing up on a remote ranch in Montana.
Paddle to the Amazon by Don Starkell. From Canada to the Amazon by canoe. A diary written by Don Starkel that is a fascinating account of this world record trip. He was accompanied by his son. They had lots of problems and sometimes it's hard to read, but it's still good reading.
Ted Conover. Journalist writer who really gets into his subjects - literally. Fascinating stuff.
Tony Hillerman. Navajo police mysteries that are addictive and very intriguing. This link takes you to Wikipedia's info on the author. At the bottom of the page is a list of his books. Read 'em all.
The Journals of Lewis and Clark
A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains by Isabella Bird. Mid 1850's, 20 yr old female, adventures in the Rocky Mountains. A classic must read.
The Indian Creek Chronicles by Pete Fromm. Being alone for 6 months of harsh mountain winter and what happens.
Down the Great Unknown by Edward Dolnick - about the Grand Canyon and John Wesley Powell. Awesome story.
Elmer Kelton - western author. "Cloudy in the West" is my fav, although "The Good Ol' Boys" is the best also.
The Stories of John Cheever - sophisticated tales, incredible writer
Ed McBain - gritty mysteries, cops, corruption, etc.
Lawrence Block - crime with a twist
Sue Grafton - the A thru Z, Kinsey Milhone mystery author
Thor Heyerdahl - adventurer and author
