This morning at 4:00 AM I finished The High Divide by Lin Enger. This was highly recommended by japple. I agree. I love historical fiction too. But The High Divide wasn't just a good yarn, it is a thing of beauty. I can't wait for Mrs. Enthusiast to read it.

Earlier I read Open Season by C.J. Box, his first of the Joe Pickett series. The problem with Open Season is I don't see how the rest of the series can live up to the first one. We shall see. I hope to read them all. My thanks to Paladin and Little Star for the recommendation.

Now I have to decide on a new book, probably one by Ian Rankin.

Yesterday Afternoon Mrs. Enthusiast finished Open Season by C.J. Box. Once you reach a certain point in Open Season you must finish it and she did.

Mrs. Enthusiast has started Strip Jack by Ian Rankin.
