Mars Diaries: Mission 9 Sigmund Brower, Contemporary American Short Stories: Updike, Roth, Baldwin, et al and many more.

The Overstory:
A Novel Richard Powers. It's about our true connection to our Earth. Spiritual and otherwise. And as I read it, our betrayal of Mother Earth by our disassociation with Mother Earth hence our ravaging and trashing her.

The Bondwoman's Narrative, Hannah Crafts the author. The first novel by an African-American slave and as the overleaf comments, more than likely the first novel anywhere from a black woman. A little from each every day until, at 72, I finish or die. Hopefully with a book in hand. Nothing maudlin, just truth and love of books and writing. Fiction non-fiction all.
