Better Than Sex: Confessions of a Political Junkie

by Hunter S. Thompson

It had been a while since I had read any Hunter when I picked up Better Than Sex. Here we find the good Doctor, hot on the campaign trail during Clinton's first run for the Presidency, at his Gonzo best. Is this collection of correspondance between HST and the political and literary luminaries of the day (including The future President, Big Willy himself) simply the psychotic ravings of a juiced up lunatic? Or incandescent commentary from a political junkie with a flare for the Gonzo? I'll leave that for you to decide, but I'm leaning toward the latter.

Coal Black Horse

by Robert Olmstead

I discovered this novel by chance and quickly fell in love. The prose are beautiful in this touching, civil war era novel about a 14 year old boy, his journey through the south and the mysterious coal black horse that changes his life. The Civil War Genre is not one I usually gravitate towards, but this book transcends the genre and has gone straight to the top of my short list of favorite books of the year. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Raw and the Cooked

by Jim Harrison

So, the big guy upstairs, by whom I mean Gary (not the other big "G") contends that Jim Harrison is our greatest living American writer. Having never read Harrison myself, and with him coming to town as keynote speaker for the 1st Annual Sun Valley Food and Wine Festival, I thought " I gotta read this guys food writing". Gary wasn't joking. Harrison is something else. Shhh, don't tell, but I started reading it on my night shift and even the introduction had me laughing out loud and instantly recommending it to customers.
