Currently, I'm reading In The Great Apache Forest: The Story Of A Lone Boy Scout by James Willard Schultz, a true story of 1917 about a teenaged fire tower worker, who encounters friendly Hopis looking to pray for rain, arsonists looking for revenge for being fired from a sawmill, a thieving army deserter, and a marauding grizzly bear called Double Killer who always kills two cows whenever wanting to eat (or at least tries to make two kills whenever hunting).

I like this story because it's true, and because it mentions a lot of places I'm familiar with, because I work in the Apache Forest of east-central Arizona every summer.

Currently nibbling away at books... re-reading excerpts of things I've already read, like the Korean novel "Please Look after Mom," "Hillbilly Elegy," Stephen King's "On Writing," and Amy Tan's "The Bonesetter's Daughter."

I'm not sticking with anything.

Picked up "Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business" after finding this review on FareForward super-fascinating.
*hopes to come up with an excuse to discuss the ideas in the review with people--possibly people here--sometime*

Oh; I saw that one! It looked kind of intriguing, I'll admit!
