So Brave, Young, and Handsome
OK, I'm not big on recommending things like books, movies, or music. It makes me feel responsible. However, some times something touches me enough that I want to recommend it. So, here goes. I'm going to recommend "So Brave, Young and Handsome" by Leif Enger. I may be somewhat biased because I liked Leif Enger's style so much, that when Brian and I saw his new book on the shelf at Barnes and Noble, we had to get it. Well, I read it in about a week (which for me is pretty good since I don't usually invest a lot of time in reading - I know it's shameful). It was great. Someone online called it a "smooth mix of romanticism and gritty reality." By gritty they mean literally. :) Just thinking about the book makes me a little itchy thinking about sleeping outside for weeks at a time as I'm traveling through the prairie states. Anyway, it's a good book, if you like gritty reality and romanticism, it may be the book for you.

I don't know this author. What else has he written? What makes you like his style so much?
He wrote "Peace Like a River." That was probably more of an "important" book that "So Brave Young and Handsome". I like his style mostly because he writes about totally mundane things in a romantic way. Nothing that he writes about is particularly interesting, but the way he writes it is so life-like and so romantisized that it makes you remember how cool it is to do mundane things like work in a factory or take a little boat ride etc. etc.
