Craig Reads is born!

I have a blog about eating out, which I rarely do. I have a blog about Hiking, which I do even less of.  I read every day.

 I started getting into literature a few years ago. Now I am hooked. I started out with Non Fiction, but now read mostly Fiction.

My top 5 favorites so far, not in order.

1. The War of the End of the World.  Mario Vargas Llosa
2. The Poisonwood Bible. Barbara Kingsolver
3. Bright Shiny Morning. James Frey
4. Beside  A Burning Sea. John Shors
5. The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal. Sean Dixon

 I usually have no idea what book I will read. All the above I just grabbed off the shelf. I decided to create a reading goal. Starting with A, read an A author I have never read before. Work my way through the alphabet A-Z.

What I realized is that, I need to plan my list better. I hit E today and I really have been meaning to read something by fellow classmate Jon Evison.  He is author of All About Lulu and West of Here. 

I tried the libraries first. No go. Bainbridge has a bunch of holds on his books. Both checked out at the downtown Seattle Library.
I tried Eagle Harbor Books. Nothing
I tried two used book stores in Seattle. Nothing.

So, its 'The Road'  by John Ehle. It's about building road and trains across the West. Historical Fiction.
