17. Thanks for the thread, hermetic. I enjoyed your comments on

The Power of the Dog and your assessment closely matches my own. That ending was one of the most original, unusual, and powerful endings I've ever read. I laughed about it as well, then went back and re-read the last couple chapters again, just to make sure I hadn't imagined it.

Finished reading Stephen Harrigan's book, Remember Ben Clayton which I enjoyed and thought a very good story and nicely written.

Then, I downloaded a book from the library. Nathan Jorgenson's book, The Mulligan. Given the title, I should have expected there would be quite a bit about golf, but there was a lot about fly-fishing as well, and I abandoned it--probably before it got to the part I would have enjoyed.

Now, I am reading a book by Richard Bausch, titled Peace which is about the Italian campaign in WWII, and where my father served. It is rough and the descriptions of the hardships faced by soldiers and civilians alike are sometimes gruesome--just like war.
