On the afternoon of August 20, 1910, a battering ram of wind moved through the drought-stricken national forests of Washington, Idaho, and Montana, whipping the hundreds of small blazes burning across the forest floor into a roaring inferno that jumped from treetop to ridge as it raged, destroying towns and timber in the blink of an eye. Forest ...

Down Tick

an awesome selection
Truly this book qualifies as an undiscovered gem! It is a superbly written quick witted tale of high finance set on Chicago's own version of Wall St. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this up and coming young writer.

Fabulous natural history of the Northwest

Lasso the Wind: Away to the New West

Timothy Egan

Vintage Departures, 1999

A journalist's view of the West, both jaundiced and hopeful
I don't often read nonfiction books that make me laugh out loud, but this one did. Egan is something of a gonzo journalist, taking on the vast subject of the American West and finding in it cause for both wonder and humor. The book is a collection of 14 essays, in ...

Tim Egan continues his journey through America
An excellent read on the human and ecological devastation of the dust bowl years. What surprised me was the determination of those that came and stayed through years of terrible living conditions. Recommend reading Egan's "Breaking Blue" after The Worst Hard Times. ...

Breaking Blue

WOW!
Mr. Egan has become my favorite non-fiction writer. I've reread The Good Rain several times, and read The Worst Hard Time as soon as it became available in paper back. I live in the Pacific Northwest and have come to appreciate the history that surrounds me. Mr. ...

My Favorite "Seattle" book!
This book does a terrific job of capturing the beauty of the Seattle area. It's a perfect blend of landscapes, lighthouses, animals, city landmarks, mountain ranges, and waterways in each season. Even though it is titled "Wild Seattle" it encompasses much more ...

The Winemaker's Daughter

Timothy Egan

Vintage, 2005

Brilliant
Hey, lighten up, everybody. This guy is a brilliant writer. His details about water, wine, and women (or at least his one great woman, Brunella, who may have an unfortunate name--and I'm not sure it's better than Barola, which would have been more fitting--but who is ...
