Okay, so there has to be a name for this. I'm posting blind. Yup, can write, can't see. In other words, I can't find my Firefox browser because I think I accidentally dumped it, and I'm too lazy to load it again. So you'll have to bear with me as I type this for my beloved Pressmen. So, sorry Ed and Jess. I know you've been trying to help. But it's summer, the kids are out of school (still) and this probably qualifies me as temporarily incompetent.
I've chosen three books that I think you will like. Short stories, written by Californians. You'll be able to finish any of these books in two days (well, Marta's might take four). Plenty of scenery in these books, rich description, as well as mature characters that do things like think, fight wars, live on farms, and fall in love all right here in California. I like western literature, and I think we tend to forget great California writers such as John Steinbeck, John Muir and Wallace Stegner.
So enjoy! You'll find it just for you at Easy Writer. And let me know if you order any of these small books and what you think.
excellent choices . but may I recomend Frank Norris " The Octopus" it is based on a litle known yet well documented events. Know as the Mussel slough Massacre of 1880. This is a turn of the century epic of California whrat farmers struggling against the rapacity of the Pac and southenwestern Railroad which will stop at nothing to extend its domination of rail transportation in California a good read Bill
