I'm rereading "Love Medicine" by Louise Erdrich. I find her lyrical prose and use of symbolism soothing and mesmorizing. It's generally the story of some Ojibwe families in northern Minnesota and North Dakota on the reservation.
It's wonderful, sad, and funny.

am currently reading book 10 of the Prey books by John Sanford. Like the fact that they are based in the Twin Cities. I like reading mystery and crime and then will switch to romance for about a year but when they all seem to be the same again will go back to mystery. Haven't been to the new library yet -- need to get thru some of what I have at home first.
