. Dog Of The South
by: Charles Portis
October 30, 2007
"My wife Norma had run off with Guy Dupree and I was waiting around for the credit card billings to come in so I could see where they had gone" (p. 3), 28-year-old Ray Midge says in the opening sentences of Charles Portis's 1979 novel. Ray is a Southern Don Quixote, and DOG OF THE SOUTH follows him on a pointless quest from Arkansas through Mexico to Honduras in search of his wife Norma and his Ford Torino. Along the way, Portis's rather obtuse narrator encounters car troubles, tropical storms, and an oddball assortment of hippies and grifters, including Dr. Reo Symes, Ray's Sancho Panza. I discovered Charles Portis through Anne Lamott, who listed him among her favorite writers during her recent Boulder appearance. In a word, Portis's quirky ... Read More:

. A Charlie Brown Christmas
by: Charles M. Schulz
October 01, 2001
Pay attention to the reviews on this book - it is not the real thing and fails to capture the magic of the special you saw on TV as a kid. It does clearly state on the title page that this is adapted from the special. I failed to comprehend what that meant. It means the story is abrigded - incredibly abrigded. Unfortunately at the same time it is also wordy. Nothing along the lines of reading the Peanut comic strips. The drawings also look off. Again nothing like the comic strip. A true adaptation of this special would be appropriate for children and adults. This book may work for kids but if you plan to give it to an adult friend to capture the magic of Christmas(as was my intention) don't bother. Very disappointing.
