Rant on:

A lot of folks in Wyoming don't like her stuff. I tried, I really tried, based on Mudcatters' recommendations. I recently had a copy of her Wyoming stories, read them aloud to my Rog, as much as he could stand. We are both very open-minded and like to share good stories. He made me stop, each time I tried to read one of her stories, because he couldn't stand it. We both detest her writing. I think one of the reasons is, Rog nailed this one, she does not love Wyoming. When she writes of it, she portrays an ugliness, a negative side which she sees and none of its beauty. She is a user, a usurper, and imo a lousy writer. I would put my descriptive writing about Wyoming up against hers any day and feel confident folks would prefer mine. Rant off

Just read Sabbathday River by Jean Hanff Korelitz. Also had a great, good time reading Kinsella's Undomestic Goddess. What a hoot!

I am reading a Gemma James mystery right now, by Crombie.
