I'm jugling three or four books at the moment. Current favorites are "Winter World" by Bernard Heinrich and "Winter" by Rick Bass. Both are more or less about natural history. I just finished a couple of Robert B. Parker's Sunny Randall novels, "Waifs and Strays" by Charles de Lint, "Scribbling the Cat: travels with an African soldier" by Alexandra Fuller and "Sunshine" by Robin McKinley. My next foray will be a book I just picked up about the Iditarod.
