Reading Books While Housebound

Since I fractured the small bone (fibula) my left leg, I have been doing a lot of reading: "The Land of Dead Giants" by Greg Guirard, "The Everglades River of Grass" by Marjory Stoneman Douglas, "A Land Remembered" by Patrick D. Smith, "Up For Grabs" by John Rothchild about Florida, "The Yearling" by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, "The Cannibal Queen" by Stephen Coonts, and Sarah Vowell's "Assassination Vacation." I am presently reading "Home Below Hell's Canyon" by Grace Jordan who lived with her husband and children in the Snake River gorge just below Hell's Canyon during the depression years of the early 1930s.
