The Riverkeepers by John Cronin and Robert Kennedy, jr. about the efforts to clean up the Hudson, Pete Seeger is in it several times, of course. The book sat on my shelves for more than a year before I got into it, sorry I waited so long. It's an excellent book on many levels. Honest to Jesus by Robert Funk, a lot about how the present day Christian Bible came to be, with historical references, translators work. I just finished the Pullman trilogy. I really got bogged down in the third book, and alglad to read others saying the same thing. I doubt I'll ever read them again. And am now in the third book of Alexander McCall Smith's books about that detective agency. They are delightful. The first two in this list I am reading fairly slowly, the last just as fast as I can.
