I just updated my 2016 reading list. Woo hoo, with 70 books under my belt I am on track  for 140-150 books in 2016. The topics are the usual: nature, field guides, memoir, birding, faith, and a smattering of fiction (trashy and otherwise). With library access, many of the books are “print” copies this year. I am making great progress with my Abbey reading goal. For a view of my list so far, click here. 

What do I recommend from the list? E.O. Wilson, and of course Edward Abbey. Good place to start is Abbey’s Road (travel writing).
