More favorites

From Jean: A Yellow Raft in Blue Water by Michael Doriss
From Sara:  Wild Swans by Jung Chang

Good adventure book

If anyone likes true adventures, I just read In the Kingdom of Ice, by Hampton Sides.  It's the story of an Arctic expedition, in the days when they still believed that the Arctic was a warm water sea surrounded by a ring of ice.  It's quite an amazing and difficult story.  Had a hard time putting it down.

Do you have favorites from our 30+ years?  Off the top of my head, I'm picking Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry and Giants in the Earth by Ole Edvart Rølvaag.
