Rated One-Sentence Journal: Short Poems and Essays From the World At Large 10/10
<div>Reading this shortly after two different trips to Missoula (during one of which I purchased the book) almost certainly colors my immense fondness for it, but so what? It's great all the same. It's got a lot of Montana nature, but said nature is not made exotic. Maybe I am just similarly-concerned, but-not-THAT-concerned-about-bears, but sometimes it's nice to read about a place you're deeply familiar with that is written by someone who is also deeply familiar, but no one is here to romanticize it. For every beautiful expanse of sky and leaves and running rivers, there are also the days where your socks keep getting wet and you're in a fight with the wind.<br><br>The bits about Missoula are also good because, yes, we do actually have civilization here, even if it's on a smaller scale. Written from the point of view of a local who lives at the edge of a small city, this snapshot of a year and a mixture of other thoughts inspire a desire to slow down, to really look at where you are, to find a good story to tell later. I'm glad I finally read it.</div>
Rated Out of Bounds 8/10
<div>Sometimes the dialogue is a little TOO expository, and sometimes the research tidbits are shoehorned in, but I always wanted to know what happened next, so it's fine.</div>
Rated Ripley's Game: Patricia Highsmith 10/10
(how have I not gone through here and rated all the Ripley books before now?)
Rated Sherlock Holmes: The Prophet in the Rain 8/10
I enjoyed this, even with being left with a cliffhanger!
