Reading Louis L'Amour's Hondo. 
Boise State University's Western Writers Series

"We are often told that we are what we eat. In our world since the printing press it might be more accurate to say we are what we read. How each of us digests what we read is a mystery. And what people really read is sometimes as puzzling as what they really think"
. - Daniel Boorstein,
 
"Narratives... both depend on and implant or reinforce patterns of desire. If we do not surrender to those patterns, we cannot really be said to have "taken in" a given narrative; yet if we do surrender, we find ourselves to some degree shaped into those patterns."
 - Wayne Booth

Richard Brautigan's
Trout Fishing in America


Boise State University Western Writers Series

Excerpt - "Thirty years after first being published, Brautigan's work remains fresh.  It continues to fascinate and to entertain.  I've never met a person who has read his books, in particular Trout Fishing in America, and who has forgotten the experience.  They may not remember details, but they remember their delight.  They remember the time they spent in his company."
