So anyone ever read any good outdoor related books??

From a thread like this about 3 years ago I got a book called "Waiting for White Horses"



Here is a brief description/summary:

Waiting for White Horses encompasses an important time in the life of Dr. Grant Thorson. He and Dr. Will Campbell, two old college friends, met in dentistry school years ago and they love nothing more than spending time together, duck hunting in northern Minnesota.

Much of the story centers on Grant Thorson. He has experienced a time of great loss and transition. His emotional legs are weak and Will supports his friend as he negotiates his new life.

This is a lovely book about friends, family, life, love and hope. And nature adds to its beauty and lushness. I didn't want the story to end and yearned for more of the characters and their lives. I laughed and I wiped a tear or two. It tugged at my heart and hasn't let go. Waiting for White Horses is simply beautiful. Nathan Jorgenson is a master storyteller and made me love learning about hunting. This book is brilliant and holds a special place in my personal collection.

Armchair Interviews says: Waiting for White Horses is a must read and a novel you'll want to keep and read again.

I read the Hatchett in high school. Awesome, Gary Paulson I believe. Also from Minnesota. He's written several good ones.

If anyone wants to read the above book that I posted I will deliver it to you via USPS as long as you promise to pass it on to another MNO Member!

I got one from the library a while ago called Drummer in the woods it was short stories about grouse hunting

another good one was pick of the litter but I think you need to be a Dog person to like that one
