Mountain Between Us

This story takes place in a gorgeous mountain area. Author Charles Martin describes it so well I almost felt cold reading it. This memorable story is a mix of a thrilling adventure with a story of human relationships. The end holds a neat surprise.

Enjoy Every Sandwich Living Each Day as If It Were Your Last
by
Lee Lipsenthal
Kathleen Stewart
, December 20, 2011
Author and physician Lee Lipsenthal shares the last several months of his life as he tries to survive esophageal cancer and at the same time stay positive. By using the tools he describes in the book, he remained calm and grateful as his terminal illness progressed. There are many good nuggets of wisdom in this thin, easy to read book. Anyone dealing with a serious illness or just wanting to take actions now to prepare for death someday, will find something to use in this book. He is big into meditation and shares the many benefits of this calming tool. He also touches on more "new-age" concepts such as living a previous life, as well as more main-stream concepts such as Native American spiritualism, his faith, and practicing gratefulness. I am so glad I read this book. It takes some of the fear of dying away.

Open & Shut
by
David Rosenfelt

, October 30, 2011
Easily, one of the most entertaining crime/courtroom books I've read in a long time. Attorney Andy Carpenter is a likable main character however, slightly irreverent and often speaks before thinking of the consequences. His first person story of defending a death row inmate previously defended by his late father was humorous yet intriguing. The story unfolds throughout the book as the sometimes-brilliant Carpenter uncovers more and more evidence until the entire story is finally revealed in the last few pages. He wonders throughout the book if his father was involved and whether his defendant is really innocent or if he was framed. Along the way, Carpenter experiences love problems, family complications, narrowly misses several attempts on his life, and finds just enough forensic data to help him with his case. It was refreshing to read of police detectives, defense attorneys and prosecuting attorneys portrayed in a good light. It's an easy, fun read!

Big Burn Teddy Roosevelt & the Fire That Saved America
by
Timothy Egan
Kathleen Stewart
, May 06, 2011
An amazing combination of stories about the The Big Burn (forest fire) in the Montana/Idaho region in 1910, Teddy Roosevelt's involvement, Gifford Pinchot's role and the beginning of the US Forest Forest Service. Somehow Timothy Egan made this book very readable and not "history-dry." He followed several characters throughout the years and you find yourself wondering whether each lives through the fire and how it affected his life. The hour-by hour narrative of the fiercest few days of the fire as it ran over towns in Montana are riveting. This was the fire that is most likely responsible for much of the USFS future growth and importance in our country. Equally as fascinating is the book's account of how our reaction to forest fires has changed over the past 100 years: are they beneficial to forests or should they be stopped at all times and at all costs?" And, the descriptions of the vast mountains and streams viewed by Roosevelt, Pinchot and John Muir's travels and hikes over the years capture beautifully the wilderness in the west.
