I'm finally over my nature/adventure books. Outside 25 was a great collection of stories. I'd recommend it higher than Last Breath for the writing alone. Nature writers that I'd recommend are Paul Theroux, Tim Cahill, Susan Orlean, Ian Frazier, and the less famous; Edward Hoagland, William T Vollmann, David Rakoff.
If you can call it that, we've been having a nice spell of 26-27 degree weather. It was warm enough (26) today to go outside without a jacket. I have seriously modified my internal thermometer since moving here.
