Vaden of Oregon Tue, 02 Dec 2008 22:28:25 +0000 http://www.alifespentreading.com/?p=81#comment-6729 Personally, I like the tree and nature books best. The Wild Trees is written in a way that makes the book good for one or two readings at least. Ever seen photos of those trees? http://www.mdvaden.com/grove_of_titans.shtml Whenever I find a redwood blog, I leave that URL so others can see what those look like. Cheers, MDV Oregon Personally, I like the tree and nature books best.

Vaden of Oregon Sun, 02 Nov 2008 21:25:16 +0000 http://www.alifespentreading.com/?p=81#comment-6505 The book is a good read. It's dramatic alright. Apparently to the point of fiction in a few sections. But I'll pick it up more than once. No photos in your copy either? Here - try these; same tree: http://www.mdvaden.com/grove_of_titans.shtml Larger images of those redwood titans of California are in album 3. Cheers, M. D. Vaden The book is a good read.
