"I'm dragging. Stories typically fall into three categories: indigenous origin story, poetry, incredibly verbose excerpts from historical writings. If you are new to national park literature, this book is a good place to start. If you are well versed, it may not add much. At least the Bill Bryson selection is not obnoxious (like a lot of his writing is)." — Mar 03, 2026 10:24PM

Zack’s Quotes

“We are the most dangerous species of life on the planet, and every other species, even the earth itself, has cause to fear our power to exterminate.
We are also the only species which when it chooses to do, will go to great effort to save what it might destroy.”
― Wallace Stegner
