I always enjoy reading these Reading the States posts. I need to try that sometime.
BTW, I am not able to reply by email to your comments, however, I wanted to let you know that Flight Behavior; Kingsolver is worth your time IMO - try it. Have a good December Melissa.
I have read quite a few of the Washington books and I love the state. If you are a dog lover, The Art of Racing in the Rain is really good and The Stranger Beside Me is arguably the best true crime book ever written.
Washington is a state that I desperately want to visit. Now I see they have quite a few local bookstores? I'm even more sold :D
I've seen a few there that I've read. I had forgotten about Starvation Heights - fascinating story that.
Diane - Thanks for the tip! I think I will try that one.
annieb - I didn't love The Art of Racing, but I'll have to try The Stranger Beside Me.
Nikki - It's just gorgeous! Seattle is one of my favorite cities. If you go you can't skip a visit to Elliott Bay Book Company, it's heaven.
Alyce - I haven't read that one, I'll check it out!
