In memory of Peter Matthiessen - how many of his books have you read?

I regret to say I've only read 3: The Snow Leopard, At Play in the Fields of the Lord, and In the Spirit of Crazy Horse. All three of them, amazing, exquisite, intense.

I think I will most certainly endeavor to expand that list in the coming weeks, probably starting with Shadow Country.

Good journey, Peter.

1. Interesting obit

I'll read the Watson trilogy and add the non-fiction to an already long list of stuff I want to read.

2. He was truly an exceptional being.

His time on earth was spent well, and I'm grateful that he left us the wonderful gift of his books.

3. The Watson Trilogy and Crazy Horse...

gonna have to read Shadow Country, since I was going to re-read the trilogy anyway. Snow Leopard on the list as well...

4. I can't recommend "The Snow Leopard" highly enough.

It was life-changing for me - although I don't expect it will hit everyone the same way. But it's an exquisitely beautiful book on so many levels.

And I've got to read Shadow Country for sure!
