Next on my shelf is Celestial Mechanics by William Least Heat-Moon because he is the keynote speaker at the Western Writers of America conference in June. After that, I plan to read The Heart of Everything That Is: the untold story of Red Cloud, an American legend by Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. (less)
