Back to nature

Strange how ones reading goes into cycles: these days I find myself going back to nature. It started with Pilgrim at Tinker Creek which I re-ordered since the copy in my possession has grown old, the pages brown and brittle. That made me reach for two favorites, Sand County Almanac and Desert Solitaire.

The inner cover of Solitaire (Edward Abbey) has an inscription, written, I see, on March 29, 1998, at Snow Canyon, Utah. It says: In memory of Edward Abbey, who died this month, at 62, in Tuscon.
