Six reads, all picks. #septemberstats

Doig‘s novels are love letters to the West, particularly Montana. His prose is poetic, his humor gentle but insightful.
The McCaskill‘s of Two Medicine are people you would like to know. Jick McCaskill grows up in multiple ways during the summer of this book and takes you along for the ride if you let him. Now I need to reread Dancing at the Rascal Fair!
(Picture from many years ago, and Wyoming not Montana. But close to the border.)

Published in 1984, set during the depression, being read in 2019, and the phrase “Republican headquarters” to describe an outhouse works for all 3. 🤣

“as far as I‘m concerned, Montana without its mountain ranges would just be Nebraska stretched north.” 😆

“No matter what time of day you approached it, the Hebner place looked as if demolition was being done and the demolishers were just now taking a smoke break. . . . In short, not much ever functioned on the Hebner place except gravity.”

I started a new Doig this morning. Look at this lovely map! #currentlyreading

Molly wishes me to curl up with a good book so she can snuggle.

A great book to read about a lifestyle many people don't know or understand. A must read to learn about Montana in the 1930's.
