Laughing at one's self
I read a lot of books.
In the past two months I have finished about 15 titles.
I read for fun, for escapism, for information, for enlightenment, and sometimes just to read.
Tony Schuur left me the latest book by Jim Harrison his last trip to the site.
I had not read a Jim Harrison book since 2008 when I read "The English Major".
My favorite Harrison book was always "Wolf" until now. (And yes, I loved "Legends of the Fall" but maybe in honesty I liked the movie better than the book in this one instance).
Maybe it is that I am over 50.
Maybe it is because I have lived long enough to laugh at my pretensions and my fears and my weaknesses.
Maybe I just do not take myself that seriously anymore.
I loved this story.
Harrison is a true American treasure.
I have never read more honest thoughts.
Do yourself a favor.
Get a copy of "The Great Leader " tomorrow and sit down and enjoy.
