You and I are the only two in LibraryThing who have cataloged Where the Sky Began by John Madson. I just finished it and very much enjoyed it. What did you think?

Hello, Robert - I'm just browsing thru fellow LT-ers. I'm retired too, from the fed govt. Ain't retirement grand? I've got some Ed Abbey books I need to add too. Thanks for reminding me. Did you ever read his "nasty" novel, Black Sun? Well, not really nasty, come to think of it. A good read. - TimBazzett
