Several years ago, here was a blog, the brilliantly-titled Roughing It In the Books, by to women who had decided to read the original numbered series in order, beginning with #1, Grove's <i>Over Prairie Trails</i>. If memory serves, they couldn't make their way through Halliburton's <i>The Clockmaker</i> (#6), and seemed to lose momentum. Sadly, the health of one of the women came into play. I note that their url, roughingitinthebooks.ca, now leads to a site selling cheap clothing.<br /><br />Are you reading in order, Eric? Or do interest and inspiration dictate? Either way, I'm impressed.Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-2501809738334790052018-07-02T10:12:55.033-04:002018-07-02T10:12:55.033-04:00Wild Geese is on my reading list, although mostly ...Wild Geese is on my reading list, although mostly because I've been reading through the NCL.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10456330529300025667noreply@blogger.com
