I'm always reading books that would fit with past trails (no surprise, is it). :-)

Here's one that would go nicely with the pun books from the June 13th, 2015 post: Art's Supplies, written and illustrated by Chris Tougas. The art supplies are out of control, joining together in wild and crazy ways to create a masterpiece. And some puns, of course. ;-)

And one that would be a good read along with Cascadia (July 28, 2014 post): The Map That Changed the World: William Smith and the Birth of Modern Geology, by Simon Winchester. Looking back, this really was a turning point in time! With his findings William Smith was proving (or at least starting that process) that the earth was older than the 4000 plus years that was common thinking at that time. And it all might not have happened without the building of canals.

I checked, and I have more books on travel than I thought! They may be found in the blog posts of April 8, May 17, July 29 and August 30th of 2014, and March 31 of 2015. And these aren't even the ones dealing with time travel. ;-) Here's one more: Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe, by Bill Bryson. Twenty years after a backpack trip across Europe, Bryson sets out to do it again. He obviously enjoys travel, and is good about describing the bad along with the good things that happen. As much I as enjoyed his journey, I was even happier that I was here and not there! (Sorry Mom).

And, lastly today, the most recent in a favorite series: Six and a Half Deadly Sins, by Colin Cotterill from his Dr. Siri Paiboun mysteries. A piece of woven fabric, with a finger sewn into the hem is delivered to Dr. Siri. The design of the weave indicates it was made by a certain weaver and so begins a treasure hunt which will lead to a shocking conclusion. As always, great detail, wonderful characters and lots of information about living in Laos in the seventies.
