What diversity of reading! Well done! It is so easy to get stuck with one genre. Elmer Kelton and Karen Swallow Prior. I can’t imagine very many people would have those two on their list. Elmer Kelton was a favorite of my father’s. The Time It Never Rained is one of my all time favorites and my daughter listed it as her favorite re-read of 2025. And, she is a die hard classical Russian author fan. Good writers know good writing and Kelton moves a reader so well.
Thank you for this!
Happy New Year.
I read Education Of A Wandering Man, last year, too. I read The Good Old Boys some years ago. I also read Blood Touching Blood.
You’ve got good taste. Two out of three ain’t bad. 😉 I hope you enjoyed Blood.

Some great ones in there, Derrick. Also a few that I need to read. In Cold Blood was always a favorite of mine. Thanks for sharing. - Jim
