I think I would like to read it now (strange how tastes change over time), so I am adding it to my wishlist. I need to read more nature books.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-74199826386029872342009-07-01T19:46:32.758-04:002009-07-01T19:46:32.758-04:00Thanks to your words, I have to pick this up!

The radical point of view wearies me, but you make some good points here about the strengths of Abbey's writing.

Very very cute. <br /><br />I love your review. my mother fell in love with the desert years ago, and while I love water, and trees, I can see what the wide open spaces does for breath for the soul.

I can understand how someone might disagree with some of his views (people constantly seem to disagree about these topics, so it's not surprising) but this sounds so interesting. I'd like to hear his views on the matters of littering and development; I'd definitely like to read this.Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-32586928465069739872009-06-27T08:10:20.928-04:002009-06-27T08:10:20.928-04:00Sounds like an interesting book - I can't imag...Sounds like an interesting book - I can't imagine people littering in places like that so I can understand his railing against it.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-89690233344117111992009-06-27T07:55:14.542-04:002009-06-27T07:55:14.542-04:00Moab??

I desperately want to go to Moab but my husband has already been so it isn't high on his list (my grandmother grew up in a small town outside there). And a book you devoured in two days? Can't beat that!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.com
