Have read Louis L' Amour's Education of a Wandering Man? I have " just", read it again for the third time, About ten years in between readings and loved it again. I am on chapter 10 of my first book, and this book just inspires me, and puts into words my feelings about books better than anything I could come up with. I think I will read the walking drum again also. Thanks for being a writer, Your an inspiration also.
