Wilderness definitely sounded intriguing, so I looked it up on GoodReads and read some reviews. I'm convinced - it's going on my to-read list!

I won't ask you to post a spoiler (really, don't tell me!), but I have to say that I truly hope the dog survives! I can't stand it when a dog dies.

Anyway, it sounds like a wonderful book. Many thanks again!

P.S. - it will be a while until I can get to this one, since I still have 4 & 1/2 unread books in my earlier stack, and just picked up 3 more books from the library today that I had put on order weeks ago. Plus I have promised DFW to read his novel at the earliest opportunity! (I should just quit my job...)
