Outdoor Writer Report post Posted August 24, 2007 Keith, Did your wife you get any of Box's books yet? I just finished Free Fire, the latest. It was a good read. -TONY P.S. Though it's not a "trip," I put this thread here since no other section seemed appropriate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted August 24, 2007 Yes, his wife just went and got him 3 books. Well tell him I hope he enjoys them as much as I did. And tell him to make sure he reads them in order! And tell his wife I said "thank you" for making him more literate. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KGAINES Report post Posted August 24, 2007 Tony apparently my wife got me three books, I now know that, it also appears to me that I left the computer on and she can type too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted August 25, 2007 In case anyone doesn't know what we're discussing here, below is an earlier message from another thread. -TONY Since there's no General discussion section here, I wasn't sure where to put this, sooo...here it is. If no one here has ever read any of the C.J. Box FICTIONAL mystery novels, you might give them a try. Box is a very capable, Wyoming-based writer with a nice style for easy reading, and for the most part, I'm found very few factual errors in them in regards to the hunting/outdoors aspects. His books, listed below, are all based on Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett, who usually gets involved in solving some sort of murder in each novel. There are lots of well-developed characters within each plot, too, and many of them carry over from one book to the next and even beyond. So if you decide to read any of them, I suggest you read them in order. The list starts with his first and goes from there. You can also read sample chapters on the C.J. Box web site. Open Season Savage Run Winterkill Trophy Hunt Out of Range Blue Heaven Free Fire I'm now about 1/2 way thru Free Fire, which takes place in and around Yellowstone NP. I read all the rest over the last year, and they were all good. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wetmule Report post Posted August 25, 2007 Tony, I'm going to check those out too, thanks! I've got a couple for ya, especially if you have any interest in Africa. Recently finished two of the best books I've ever read, incredible true stories that you can't put down, at least I couldn't. "Cry Of The Kalahari" & "The Eye Of The Elephant" both by Mark & Delia Owens I think it'd be cool if Amanda pinned a thread on Hunting & Wildlife book recemendations. Thanks for the referral Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 25, 2007 I created a new forum for book reviews (look at bottom of forum list). I figure Tony can fill it all by himself! I would be real interested to see what books people recommend. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
