Just started reading Hal Borland and so far I am enjoying his book. He is plain spoken and very different from Wallace. It will be fun to compare the two. In chapter two I found two sentences that stood out to me, "Crows congregate in roadside poplars and loudly discuss everything under the sun." and "I don't know why a jay can make the most harmless action look like a felony, but he can." He put words to things I know, but haven't expressed before.
I also liked the last paragraph of chapter 2 when he talks about the purpose of country roads. Do any of you have a country road that is good for walking along? I have mountain roads and they aren't the same. Cheryl

Thanks for your comment. Esp like the jay quote! That encourages me to delve into the pages. I haven't been able to get going with Borland so far. Too distracted by a Sue Hubbell book on bugs!
ReplyDeleteIsn't she great! Insects rock!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we should read an article from Orion to go with Borland. Contrasting the past with the present or something like that?
ReplyDeleteGood idea!
