It is a book that I read over a couple of months. Memoir, nature observation, social commentary, counterculture, union history, father-son relationship, meditation, spiritualism, ... as it says on the cover "an extraordinary book"!

@Izai.Amorim I started reading Rogue River Journal again and just finished this page. Love this book but it's a slow read for me, however, I have roughly 100 pages left and this time I think I'll finish it. Hope things are better for you!

Izai.Amorim It was a slow read for me too but maybe that‘s the book‘s charm. We have fine weathers here, very warm for April. Biergarten season is open! 7y

Izai.Amorim 👍Beautiful prose! 7y
Anna40 @Izai.Amorim you might like this book. At first I thought it was about solitude and spending a winter away from any kind of human interaction and it is but there is a lot more in this book: "history" of the Labour unions in the US, father son relationship / memoir, his thoughts and his encounters with wild animals or simply observations of nature. It's beautifully written! 7y
Izai.Amorim Thanks for the tip. I‘ll check on Amazon. I‘m reading a lot of psychology at the moment and I need a break. Father/son relationships interest me a lot since I‘m writing a family saga and it‘s the main theme. Have a good Sunday! 7y
