Okay, so I’ve come to the conclusion that every single Western I’ve ever seen is based on this book. All of them. Even the ones that came out before this book. Warlock by Oakley Hall is a classic. Good guys, …
Read: Thrive
I don’t read the Huffington Post. I never have. So I guess you could say I’m behind the Huffington Curve. It’s not that I have anything against the Post. I actually don’t know anything about it. I don’t read it …
Read: Big Magic
I didn’t want to read this book, but I am truly glad I did. Elizabeth Gilbert gave us “Eat, Pray, Love” a book that sold somewhere around a trillion copies.(Approximately) Sometimes when an author has a success such as EPL …
Read: High Tide In Tucson
This is a great book. Barbara Kingsolver, besides having a super sturdy name, is a beautiful writer. Women write about nature in a truthful, faithful and honest way that is simply different than how men do it. Kingsolver probably isn’t …
Read: Silence
Okay, I’m going to keep this short so I can grossly stereotype the entire world. I will say there are people who would read this book and others who won’t. Just by looking at the title. So, if this sounds …

Read: The Responsible Company
This was my follow up read to the “other” Patagonia book I posted about last week. “The Responsible Company” focuses more on business specifics, philosophy and what they have learned by trying to run a company without causing unnecessary harm. …
Read: The Journey Home
This Edward Abbey book fell in my hands at the right time. “The Journey Home,” is a book of essays from one of the most interesting nature writers I know. I would call Ed Abbey a reluctant writer but I’m …
Creative: Nick Tauro, New Mexico and New York
I love seeing a first book. A first trial and error. A first experiment. Today’s kudos go out to photographer Nick Tauro in the ABQ. Nick comes to us today with a Magcloud 8×8 publication. You could call it a …
Read: I Will Send Rain
I feel bad. I really do. I’m sure it took Rae Meadows years to write this book. Then it took the editing. Draft after draft. Then to the publisher, through acquisitions, revisions and finally through the printing, the delivery and …
